New Probationary requirements for Primary teachers

The DES have published Circular 047/2011 setting out the conditions which govern the probationary process for primary teachers.

The Main change for the 2011/2012 academic year is that the Teaching Council has determined that the minimum service requirement for registration probation purposes will be decreased for the school year 2011-12 only. This is reduced to 100 days.

This service must take place after a teaching qualification has been successfully completed and comprise either two periods of at least 50 consecutive school days or one period of 100 school days during which the professional competence of the teacher will be evaluated by the Inspectorate.

This change is in light of the numbers of newly qualified teachers likely to be entering the teaching profession in the 2011-12 school year and the expected availability of teaching positions.

For the full text of the circular, and further details please click on Circular 047/2011
