Who needs to register?
If you wish to be employed as a teacher in a grant-aided school, or work as a peripatetic teacher in Northern Ireland, you must be registered with the Council.
The Education (NI) Order 1998 (amended) NI Order 2003, section 35 (3) states that; "An employing authority shall not employ a person as a teacher unless he is registered under this Article".
If a teacher is in a contract of employment (whether paid or unpaid), or has taught during the registration year (even if only for 1 day) they must pay their registration fee. This applies to teachers on a career break, maternity or sick leave.
