Teachers will not seek more pay for summer exam lessons

Teachers will not seek additional pay for time spent in the classroom ahead of the postponed Leaving Cert exams this summer, the head of the largest second-level teachers’’ union has confirmed.

This follows the decision by the Association of Secondary Teachers of Ireland (ASTI) to support the postponement of the Leaving Cert exams until at least the end of July. This includes returning to classrooms for two weeks during the holidays to assist students ahead of their final exams.
