Post primary teachers are to be balloted for industrial action if talks with the Government over Leaving Cert reform do not achieve "an acceptable outcome".

On Tuesday an emergency motion on the matter was brought before the Association of Secondary Teachers of Ireland (ASTI) and it will come before members of the Teachers Union of Ireland on Wednesday.
