§ Mr. MacVEAGHasked the Home Secretary whether he can say if the reports "Good" and "Very Good" entitle teachers under the Irish National Board who are on the maximum salary of second grade to promotion to first grade; and whether the equivalents to those reports under the present system also entitle a teacher similarly circumstanced to promotion to first grade?
Mr. SAMUELI am informed that under the former system "Very Good" reports354W qualified teachers on maximum salary of second grade who were otherwise eligible to promotion to first grade, but that "Good" reports merely would not do so. Under the present system, work of an efficient character must be done to secure promotion to second grade, and a higher standard is expected for promotion to first grade.
