The exchange, in full

Reply: There are presently seventy-four Special Education Needs (SEN) institutions registered with the Special Education Needs Authority (SENA) as follows – (i) 47 Non-Government Organisations (NGOs); (ii) 12 Special Educations Needs Integrated Units (SENIUs); (iii) 7 Special Educations Needs Resource and Development Centres (SENRDCs), and (iv) 8 Special Education Needs Schools run by the Société Diocésaine de l'Éducation Catholique (SeDEC). The post of Head Teacher does not exist on the establishment of these institutions. Public Primary Schools (SENIUs and SENRDCs) are managed by Head, Specialised Schools and Head, SEN Resource Centre, respectively. As regards the NGOs and SeDEC, Managers and Assistant Managers are responsible for the management of the schools. It is the National Remuneration Board which determines the salaries of various positions, such as Teacher, Teachers Assistant/Clerk, Carer, Driver and Caretaker in the NGO-run institutions whereas the salaries and other conditions for SENIUs and SENRDCs are governed by the Pay Research Bureau. My Ministry has been informed by the Ministry of Labour and Industrial Relations that in its final recommendations submitted on 27 January 2023, the National Remuneration Board was not agreeable to the proposals for the inclusion of additional categories of workers such as Managers and Assistant Managers on ground that these are high profile job positions.
