106. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the acceptable requirements to receive approval for time served teaching outside the European Union in respect of teachers who have taught outside the European Union; and the reason time served teaching at overseas private primary schools is recognised and time served teaching at secondary schools is not.

The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC). This Council is comprised of representatives of teachers, school management, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the Department of Education and Skills and is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.

The criteria for the award of incremental credit is laid out in my Department’s Circulars, 10/2001 for Primary teachers and 29/2007 & 29/2010 for Post-Primary teachers.
