Department officials have discussed the changes to the Teachers\u2019 Pension Scheme with all education trade unions and a number of employer representatives. Discussions with these groups will continue through the Teachers\u2019 Pension Scheme Advisory Board.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is also launching a consultation in early 2019 to seek views on the impact of the changes to employer contribution costs on state-funded schools, independent schools, further education (FE) colleges and other public-funded training organisations, and universities and other Higher Education institutions (HEI) in the Teachers\u2019 Pension Scheme, including which sectors should receive additional funding from the Government. Once the consultation has closed, the Department will make an assessment on the viability of the scheme and the number of institutions participating in the scheme.<\/p>
