Welcome to the website of the Teaching Council of Ireland.

The Teaching Council is the professional body for teaching in Ireland. It was established by statute in March 2006 to promote teaching as a profession at primary and post-primary levels; to promote the professional development of teachers; and to regulate standards in our profession. 

Take a look around. Here you can find out more about registration, teacher education and all areas of the Council's work. You can also read the latest news stories, online publications and our newsletter, Oide.
