Following the conclusion of the agenda, the President gave General Secretary Larry Flanagan permission to address the meeting. Mr Flanagan informed Council that he had taken the decision to stand down as General Secretary, following 10 years in post. He was not “retiring”, he remains a registered teacher and will continue to focus on his international trade union work as President of the ETUCE. Mr Flanagan intends to step aside in the summer, after the EIS AGM and following completion of the appointment process of his successor as General Secretary.
