For most teachers, a 4% cent increase would see their pay rise by between \u00a31,000 – \u00a32,000 a year before tax.<\/p>\n
A 4% rise would mean that a teacher at the bottom of the pay scale currently earning \u00a331,650 per year would see their pay rise to \u00a332,916.<\/p>\n
While a teacher higher up the pay scale currently earning \u00a348,919 a year would see their pay rise to \u00a350,876.<\/p>\n
The teaching employers, known as the management side, said that the 4% pay offer for 2025\/26 “represents the best that can be achieved against the backdrop of increasing financial pressures.”<\/p>\n
As well as DE, the employers include the Education Authority (EA), the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS), Comhairle na Gaelscola\u00edochta (CnaG), the Governing Bodies Association (GBA) and the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education.<\/p>\n
