A second teachers’ union has voted unanimously to consider industrial action should the implementation of major senior cycle reform proceed as planned next September.

Introducing the motion of consequence at the Teacher's Union of Ireland’s annual congress in Wexford, delegates argued the infrastructure necessary to support the changes were currently insufficient and would not be ready in time for when the new system goes live.
