An Appeal Procedure has been established in CL 0003/2018 (Leadership and Management in Post-Primary Schools) to ensure that the correct procedures are followed in the appointment of Assistant Principal I, Assistant Principal II and Programme Co-ordinator posts. The appeal is not a re-examination of the interview itself.

Section 18.1 of CL 0003/2018 states:

Appeals in respect of competitions for posts of Assistant Principals I, Assistant Principal II and Programme Co-ordinator posts shall be completed electronically on the agreed PDF appeal form. Only appeals completed and submitted using the electronic form will be processed. Appeals submitted after the Appeal Date will not be processed.
