117. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a person (details supplied) has been paid at the wrong scale since 2014; the reason the person's qualifications have not been recognised on the pay scale; if his Department will recognise the qualifications of the person and rectify the anomaly retrospectively; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The person referred to by the Deputy registered with the Teaching Council for the Primary sector  with effect from the 3rd October 2016 and as a result he will be paid at the qualified rate of pay from that date.  The qualified rate of pay and arrears will be paid in the pay issue of 20 April, 2017.

Prior to the 3rd October 2016 he was registered with the Teaching Council to teach in the Further Education sector which does not receive a qualified rate of pay in the Primary sector. Accordingly,  no retrospective arrears of pay are due to him during his period of registration as a Further Education teacher.
