Teachers vote to accept pay award

Teacher Members of NASUWT – The Teachers’ Union have voted to accept the terms of the 2021-24 pay offer as part of the process for securing resolution of their ongoing dispute with the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. 82% of NASUWT members who responded to the pay survey voted in favour of implementing the offer, with a turnout of 63%.

The NASUWT National Action Committee will now consider the results of the survey ahead of the Teachers’ Negotiating Committee meeting on 26 March.

Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT General Secretary, said:

“Northern Ireland teachers are long overdue a pay award. It is disgraceful that teachers have had to wait for three years to receive a credible pay offer.”
