Ireland - Teachers' salaries and allowances
Teachers' salaries and allowances
- Teachers’ remuneration is regulated by top-level authorities for primary and secondary education levels. At ISCED 02, salaries for educators in early learning settings are set by the owners/board of managements of community, voluntary and private entities. As part of the ECCE scheme, ISCED 02 settings receive grants per eligible child enrolled from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs on condition that the setting meets requirements such as minimum qualification of practitioners teaching in such settings and minimum qualification of the practitioners leading the settings.
- The minimum qualification requirement for teachers is ISCED 4 for pre-primary level and ISCED 6 at all other levels.
- The salary progression of teachers depends on the number of years in service (teachers appointed after 2011).
- Teachers are public servants.
