Teachers Conference: Jan O’Sullivan: Don’t block upskilling by colleagues

Education Minister Jan O’Sullivan is disturbed by the idea of teachers blocking colleagues from upskilling themselves as the impasse on junior cycle reform shows no sign of lifting.

She was speaking after telling Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI) members of her disappointment that their leaders plan to picket training centres where continuous professional development (CPD) is set to begin for English teachers next week.
