Teachers and lecturers demand fair pay, greater investment

Education in Northern Ireland is chronically underfunded and schools and colleges need greater investment, young people require more support and teachers and lecturers deserve proper levels of pay, members of NASUWT – The Teachers’ Union will hear.

At the NASUWT Northern Ireland Annual Conference in Belfast, members will debate funding for education which needs immediate priority to ensure schools and colleges are well-funded.

It comes in the wake of the “Investing in a Better Future” report by the Independent Review of Education in Northern Ireland which among its key recommendations  called for greater investment in education as a priority.

A motion to be debated at the conference will congratulate members across Northern Ireland “for their continuing solidarity, dedication, and commitment to the NASUWT industrial action strategy.”
