Undeb Cenedlaethol Athrawon Cymru
Undeb Cenedlaethol Athrawon Cymru commonly referred to as UCAC, was formed in Wales from a split from the NUT in the late 1940s over the issue of the Welsh language in teaching. It has around 4,000 members, who are nearly all Welsh speakers, representing mainly teachers in Welsh medium schools or teachers of Welsh in English medium schools. It accounts for about 15% of the total teacher workforce in Wales.
It is affiliated to the UK TUC, since under current TUC rules it is not permissible to affiliate only to TUC Cymru.
Its main office is in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.
As well as representing its members at all levels it also campaigns for an independent education system for Wales.
