On November 1st the Minister for Education and Skills, Mr. Ruairí Quinn,signed the commencement order for Section 30 of the Teaching Council Act 2001 to become operational from 28 January 2014.
This legislation introduces a major reform whereby only registered teachers in recognised schools may be paid from public funds. “It is in all our interests for all of our children to be taught only by registered teachers who engage in continuous learning and development,” Minister Quinn said.
This measure will enhance the status of the teaching profession through fair and transparent regulation of entry to, and continued membership of, the profession.
The Minister urged any teachers who are not currently registered with the teaching council to apply for registration immediately.
