INTO members reject plans for day of action

TEACHERS yesterday rejected plans to call a national day of action over substandard schools.

The INTO had planned to conduct a walkout to highlight the issue but in a surprise move, the majority of the 800 INTO delegates voted against the motion. Many felt it was too late in the school year to begin the protest.

“But I think teachers are prepared to campaign tirelessly on this,” said Marie Bradley, a teacher in Scoil Mhuire Fatima in Drogheda, Co Louth.
