This year’s Northern Conference will be held on Friday 4 – Saturday 5 March 2022 in The Killyhevlin Hotel, Enniskillen. This is an opportunity for members in branches across the North of Ireland to bring motions forward to address the most pressing issues which face teachers in their daily work.
This year’s chairperson is Marie O’Shea, a teaching Principal from St John the Baptist PS, Roscor, Belleek, Co. Fermanagh and has been seconded from the school to work on behalf of teacher members across all sectors for the year.

- How will the excessive workload on teachers and school leaders be tackled moving forward?
- How will we secure long term, multi-year investment plans– financial investment / resource investing?
- How will the issues that were in schools prior to the pandemic that were further exasperated by it be addressed?
