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 methodology for this research included a desk-based review of relevant research and policy documents prior to designing the survey. 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 Library Boards).
