Disruption expected at NI schools as teachers strike

Nov 5,2023 7:30 pm

Major disruption is expected next week as members of Northern Ireland 's five teaching unions are due to Go On strike.

Five Days of walkouts have been planned in response to a long-running dispute over pay.

Last week, non-teaching education staff.

A half-day strike will be held on Wednesday 29 November, with a further four days planned for after Christmas.

Head teachers will join strike action for only The Second Time In their union's 126-year History .

previously joined four other unions in a full-day walkout in April.

'We have run out of patience'

Liam McGuckin, NAHT's NI president, said The Action was " The Last resort" for school leaders after " a year of dispute with no progress".

" The System is failing our schools, our workforce and, most importantly, our Young People , " He Said .

" We have simply run out of patience.

" We need immediate investment, without which The Profession that holds together much of The fabric of society will be irreparably damaged. "

Teachers are represented by The Northern Ireland Teachers Council (NITC) which includes five unions - The NASUWT, Irish National Teachers' Organisation (INTO), Ulster Teachers' Union (UTU), National Education Union (NEU) and NAHT.

Members of NASUWT in Further Education colleges will also take part in The Strike action.

The pay dispute has been ongoing for 18 Months .

In February 2022, unions rejected a pay offer from employers.

Ongoing pressures around Stormont's education budget means it is not clear how much money is available to make teachers a pay offer The unions would accept, but.

'Our Children will pay The Price '

Jacquie White, UTU's General Secretary , said that The Profession has never faced such a " parlous situation".

" We Are truly in unchartered territory now, " She Said .

" Our education system here in Northern Ireland , once The Envy of The UK and beyond, is in The jaws of a once-in-a-lifetime crisis and unless something is done to address that, it is Our Children who will pay The Price . "

The stalemate over a pay deal means schools are " haemorrhagingĀ teachers" with many leaving for teaching jobs elsewhere, Ms White continued.

" It is downright shameful that this has had to happen and displays a morally bankrupt attitude on The part of The powers that be. "

Justin McCamphill, NASUWT's Northern Ireland official, described it as a " crisis situation" for members, who have no option to strike.

The Union 's General Secretary , Dr Patrick Roach , called for teachers to be " properly rewarded" for The Work they do.

" At a time when teachers and lecturers are facing The biggest squeeze on their finances in A Generation , The prospect of a further real-terms pay cut is simply unacceptable, " he added.

" Our members are not prepared to stand by while their pay dwindles and their living costs rise. "

The Education Authority (EA) has been contacted for a response.
