Registration
It a requirement for teachers to register with the Teaching Council in order to be paid salary by the State.
If a teacher does not renew registration on time then salary will be stopped. Teachers are responsible for ensuring that their contact details are up to date –home address, email and phone numbers may be updated through the My Registration facility. This enables the Council to notify teachers prior to registration being due for renewal.
