This year’s Digest contains, for the first time, statistics relating to Principals and Vice-Principals. The information that the Council is able to hold on its ‘Register’ is determined by Schedule One of the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland (Registration of Teachers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004. The fields that have been selected for the ‘Digest’ are those fields which are considered to have a high level of accuracy and completeness.

Subsequently, a number of iterations of the survey were undertaken and comment and feedback was obtained from GTCNI. The study team included a school practitioner reference panel, and piloting of the questionnaire involved obtaining detailed comments from them on the questionnaire.GTCNI provided a random sample of 3,000 teachers which was broadly representative of gender (male, female), type of school (primary, secondary, etc.) and geography (Education and LibraryBoards).

A small number of interviews with officers of professional associations and with teachers from other countries has also been carried out. The researchers believe there is scope for extended research, so as to further elucidate some areas of comparison and to explore the experience of individual teachers and other professionals.

Fivein-country sections examining current practice in England, Northern Ireland,the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales were compiled. The second stage of the research was a comparative analysis of the data documented in the five in-country sections. A thematic overview report has been produced which highlights convergence and divergence between the five countries.The report concludes with issues to consider in future if equivalences are to beestablished between these systems and greater complementarity is to be achieved.
