Teaching union the ASTI is to ballot its membership in the coming weeks on whether or not to accept controversial proposals to change the Leaving Cert curriculum from September this year.

A separate ballot to be voted upon at the same time will seek the vote of the secondary school union’s 20,000-strong membership on whether or not to proceed with industrial action should the proposals be rejected.
