The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) has welcomed today’s confirmation from the Department of Education and teachers who are pregnant and those in the ‘very high risk’ category should continue to work remotely for the remainder of the school year.
TUI had made strong representations to the Department with regard to both categories of teachers and an emergency motion seeking that pregnant teachers should continue to work remotely for the remainder of the academic year was unanimously passed at TUI’s Annual Congress last month.
