20th March 2024
INTO members in Districts 1 and 2 have chosen, by a substantial margin to accept the Teachers’ Pay Offer for 2021, 2022 and 2023, in an electronic survey of members in the north.
The union result announced today (20 March).
- 2,417 members (68.42%) supported the offer
- 1,129 members (31.58%) were against the offer
- The turnout was 50.2% of the NI membership
The Northern Committee of the union scrutinised the offer negotiated by the NITC Pay Team and issued a formal recommendation to the membership, urging acceptance of the 3-year award which covers the school years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24. A significant majority of members agreed to accept the proposals.
Responding to the result, INTO Northern Committee Chairperson, Caoimhin Mac Colaim said:
“While the offer is not perfect, it represents a significant and much needed increase in pay for all teachers and school leaders, during a time of great financial pressure. INTO will now begin with preparations to progress our next pay claim for September 2024.”
Teachers Negotiating Committee Meeting
The results of surveys conducted by all five of the teachers’ unions who are members of the Northern Ireland Teachers’ Council (NITC) will be aggregated at a meeting of the Teachers Negotiating Committee on Tuesday, 26 March with a plan to implement the deal.
INTO representatives attending the meeting will indicate that our members have strongly supported the ratification of the pay award. The INTO will communicate the outcome of the TNC discussions on our website.
