Teachers to be balloted for action over junior cycle reforms
The members of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland and the Teachers Union of Ireland say that aspects of the Department of Education’s proposals “pose serious threats to education standards and to the objectivity and transparency of junior cycle exams”.
The ballots will ask teachers to take industrial action including, but not limited to, non-co-operation with aspects of the new junior cycle, as directed by the ASTI and TUI. The TUI’s ballot will also ask teachers to vote on strike action.
