Teachers' Council Rejects Pay Offer
Education Minister Michelle McIlveen has said that she is disappointed with a lack of progress in negotiations after the Northern Ireland Teachers' Council (NITC) has rejected a formal offer on teachers' pay.
The Minister said: "I am disappointed that the Northern Ireland Teachers' Council (NITC) have rejected the pay offer that was made to them last week.
"Management Side had offered a two-year pay deal worth 3.2% from 1 September 2021. The pay award would have seen the removal of the bottom point of the current teachers' pay scale and the addition of a further point at the top of the scale, with a similar approach applied to each of the pay ranges for school leaders."
In conclusion, the Minister said: "This pay offer had been made despite a very difficult financial situation and I had hoped that this would have led to a completion of the pay negotiations for 2021/22 and 2022/23 during the current mandate. Management Side will now take time to consider how the matter should be progressed before engaging again with NITC."
