I wish to inform the Deputy that the salary structure for teachers including Principals is based on a common salary scale irrespective of whether the school is a special school. In addition to the salary, a post of responsibility allowance payment is allocated for Principals duties and this post of responsibility allowance will vary depending on the number of whole-time equivalent teachers employed in the school. The subject qualifications of the teachers employed in the school are not considered into the salary of the teacher.
The most recent circular on salaries for post primary school teachers is available at link below.
