The government has announced a moratorium on recruitment and promotion across the public service. In the case of education, this means that the number of teachers and SNAs will be capped at the September 2009 figures. Vacancies arising thereafter can be filled but only subject to the overall number of teachers or SNAs.
Promoted posts of principal and deputy principal will continue to be filled in the normal way. However, vacancies for posts of assistant principal and special duties teachers will not be filled with immediate effect. The only exception to this embargo will be newly established schools.
The CEC of the INTO is meeting today to consider a range of issues in relation to the reconvened talks on a programme for national recovery and will also be considering this latest development.
