Students urge O’Keeffe to end promotions ban
The Irish Second-Level Students’ Union expressed disappointment that the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) and Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) are to escalate industrial action to ban members from fulfilling duties of posts of responsibility left vacant due to retirement or other reasons.
“It is unfair to expect teachers to provide this additional student support structure without the proper remuneration. We call on the minister to include this as an exception to the moratorium to ensure the smooth running of schools before students suffer as school operations grind under the pressure of a severe lack of resources,” a spokesperson said.
