Teachers are entitled to extra personal vacation days if they attend approved summer courses under rule 58 of the Rules for National Schools.
For further information see the circulars below:
Primary teachers must apply in writing to their current employer, for example: their Board of Management or manager. A Certificate of Completion of the summer course must be submitted in order to use this leave.
Under normal circumstances, substitute cover is not paid by the Department/ETB for EPV Leave. However, similar to the 2020/21 school year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department/ ETB will provide substitute cover for the first day of EPV Leave taken by a teacher in the 2021/22 school year. For further information, please refer to Information Note TC 0018/2021 .
