A troubled teaching body charged with เล่นเกมสล็อต roma แบบ ทดลองไม่ต้องสมัคร regulating standards has been hit by eight resignations this week.

The General Teaching Council Northern Ireland (GTCNI) is a 33-strong body which registers teachers and is responsible for professional standards.

The council has been put in "special measures" by the Department of Education.

It is also facing series of industrial tribunals and 112 whistleblowing complaints have been made.

The resignations came to light as MLAs on Stormont's Education Committee took evidence about the work of the council which is currently being reviewed by the department.

Mr Sam Gallaher, the council's chief executive, was asked why eight people had resigned this week.

He said it was because they had concerns about the "functioning of the council".

Earlier, the chair of the GTCNI, Brendan Morgan, detailed how difficult personal relationships were.

He told MLAs that some members of the council refused to recognise his authority as chair of the council and he told MLAs that others refused to communicate with him and the vice chair.
