The ASTI’s Central Executive Council has decided to ballot members on proposals contained in the document Senior Cycle Redevelopment – Implementation Measures and Addendum, with a recommendation that members accept the proposals.
This follows negotiations between ASTI representatives and the Department of Education and Youth on additional supports for teachers and schools implementing the new Senior Cycle Redevelopment programme.
The ASTI had sought additional measures including extra funding and resources for schools, training and other supports for teachers, including legal protection for teachers regarding Additional Assessment Components (AACs).
The ballot will take place over the coming weeks.
