flag Northern Ireland teachers accepted a 4% pay rise starting September 1, 2025, amid budget constraints.

flag Teachers in Northern Ireland have been offered a 4% pay rise effective September 1, 2025, applying to all salary points and allowances, following executive approval to overspend a budget facing a £267 million deficit. flag The Northern Ireland Teachers Council and unions including NASUWT, INTO, and NAHT have welcomed the offer as the maximum feasible under financial constraints, with NASUWT recommending acceptance, citing parity with England’s 2025/26 increase and no attached conditions. flag The raise, which would increase starting pay to £32,916 and top pay to £50,876, comes after a 5.5% rise in 2024/25 and is separate from ongoing workload negotiations. flag Unions are now consulting members, with calls for back pay to be issued by February.
