The  Report of the Technical Working Group on Teacher Supply focusses on the development of a model of primary teacher supply, while outlining the work which will be required to establish a model of post primary teacher supply.

The aim of my Department’s policy is to achieve a balance between the supply of, and demand for, teachers. The Deputy will see from the Report that this is complex, particularly at post primary level, and it was important that the report was given careful consideration by officials of my Department and that suitable supporting actions were identified before publication. I intend to publish the TWG’s report shortly.
