23rd July 2025
The Department of Education and Youth (DEY) has today published Circular 0050/2025, confirming the next pay increase for teachers under the current public sector pay agreement. A 1% increase will apply to all salary scale points and allowances from 1 August 2025. This uplift also applies to daily and hourly rates.
Members should note that salaries issued on 14 August will cover the pay period from 29 July to 11 August. As a result, three days will be paid at the pre-uplift rate, and eleven days at the new, higher rate. The full 1% increase will be reflected in the salary payment on 28 August 2025.
Members can opt to receive payslips electronically by registering at MessagingIE.

Local Bargaining Process
The INTO has been meeting with officials from the DEY to discuss the first phase of local bargaining. Further talks are expected next month, and the union hopes to provide an update at that stage on the progress of its claims and the arrangements for payments due from 1 September 2025.
