TUI secures significant gains for part-time teachers (CID and fixed-term)

By piofficer, Wednesday, 31st August 2016 | 0 comments

Arising from the agreement reached between the Department of Education and Skills and TUI in May 2016, a revised procedure and sequence for filling available teacher posts/hours has been agreed and is now set out in Circular Letter 0059/2016.

This will provide security of employment and enhanced teaching hours for teachers in employment on less than full hours, as additional hours become available (having regard to the curricular needs of the school and the qualifications required for the post). The process will be applied having regard to the principles contained in the Report of Expert Group on Fixed-term and Part-time Employment in Primary and Second Level Education in Ireland (The Ward Report).

The circular letter has immediate application and supersedes any selection processes that have not been completed, including processes in respect of positions that have already been advertised.

Further explanatory documentation on this circular letter will be uploaded on this website in due course.
