738. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education if a teacher is not reappointed to a position, the reason no concrete reasons are given to that person other than that another person performed better in an interview. [32304/24]
View answerThe recruitment and appointment of teachers to fill teaching posts is a matter for the individual school authority, subject to procedures agreed under Section 24 of the Education Act 1998 (as amended by the Education (Amendment) Act 2012).
The Department of Education has no role in providing feedback to applicants in the recruitment of teachers, this is done at the discretion of the individual school themselves.
Recruitment and appointment procedures for teachers are outlined in Chapter 2 of Department of Education circular 44/2019 see section 13 and 14 of chapter 2 for more information.
