The Department of Education and Skills has confimred that Section 30 of the Teaching Council Act will be implemented fully and unammended. The organised protest by District 14/15 for WEDNESDAY 15th has been CANCELLED.
Along with other contributing factors, the fact that INTO Members and NQT's were willing to mobilise will certainly have stood as one main reason for this decision. It also comes in-line with a motion passed at Congress 2011, thus becoming a directive, where the CEC and INTO, through member votes, decided that INTO Members should only work alongside Qualified Personnel.
We at the INTO NQT Group, District 14, would like to thank all those who gathered to plan for the protest, worked towards it in schools, and all those who pledged to be there on the day. We also thank and commend those who supported us by commenting or liking on Facebook for example.
While this may be seen as a victory, lets keep focussed on other tasks at hand also.
