The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) has again called for immediate repeal of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act (FEMPI) legislation. The union has campaigned against the emergency legislation in a variety of fora since its imposition.

Motion 42 on investment in education, proposed by TUI at ICTU's Biennial Delegate Conference 2017 this week, was unanimously passed.

Gerry Quinn, TUI nominee to the Teaching Council has resigned as the Chair of the Council due to its decision not to use a publicly advertised recruitment/interview process for the appointment to the position of Director of the Teaching Council. 

Circular letter 47/2017, which sets out another opportunity for TUI members to Opt-out and Opt-in of the S&S Scheme, has just issued.

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) is inviting applications for five Education Officer posts. Click here for full details.
