Teachers' trade unions in the United Kingdom

Last updated

Teachers' trades union in the United Kingdom are trades union for teachers in operating in the United Kingdom.

Contents

Due to the differing education systems in the UK, most unions only organise in certain parts of the country and some focus on certain members of staff, such as headteachers. Teaching is an unusual profession in that it does not have one leading union, but has many different ones, often with differing aims. Having said that, the NEU and NASUWT jointly represent the vast majority of teachers in England and Wales, while the EIS represents the majority of teachers in Scotland.

For teachers and school staff looking for an alternative to the traditional teaching unions, Edapt provides legal support and advice in England and Wales.
