Talks fail to resolve school supervision row

TALKS on supervision and substitution in most secondary schools have so far failed to come up with a solution ahead of the new term beginning next week.

The Joint Managerial Body representing school managers has been in discussion with Department of Education officials, but they do not want a return to the contingency plan put in place earlier this year.

It began in March after Association of Secondary Teachers of Ireland members refused the Government pay offer for supervision and substitution duties.
