(a) 1998 Due to the implementation in 1998, of a new Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) by the Department of Education, no records are available on the number of female teachers who applied for permanency. (b) – (d) From 1999, teachers were no longer required to lodge applications for permanency. The pathway to permanency for a teacher with the Department of Education is through appointment to a 'clear vacancy'. A vacancy is deemed clear if it has been made available to all permanent teachers seeking transfer, but remains unfilled at the conclusion of the transfer process. Permanent teacher status is confirmed upon completion of three years' continuous satisfactory service in a position designated a clear vacancy, or two years in a position designated a clear vacancy in a difficult to staff school, or a school in the Remote Teaching Service. (2) (a) 1998 11 Due to the implementation of the (HRMIS), only teachers who were granted permanent teacher status between September and December 1998 are recorded for 1998. (b) 1999 198 (c) 2000 345 (d) 2001 293 (e) 2002 731 (3) See (1) (4) (a) 1998 1 (b) 1999 120 (c) 2000 114 (d) 2001 78 (e) 2002 140
