Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI; Irish: Aontas Múinteoirí Éireann) is a trade union in Ireland representing teachers and lecturers in post-primary schools, adult education colleges, institutes of technology, and technological universities. The TUI is affiliated with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) and is represented on various education governmental bodies such as the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC), the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC), and the Vocational Education Committees. The Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland (ASTI) is the other trade union representing post-primary teachers in Ireland.

History

The union was founded in 1930 as the Vocational Educational Officers' Organisation, and it joined the Irish Trades Union Congress the following year. In 1955, it renamed itself as the Vocational Teachers' Association, and then in 1973 it became the "Teachers' Union of Ireland".
