ASTI representatives have met with Department of Education and Skills officials and further meetings are planned to facilitate the prompt implementation of measures previously committed to by the Department.

Pay:

The Department has confirmed that work has begun to ensure that pay adjustments will apply to all members as quickly as possible.

CIDs:

The Department has already notified school management bodies that the terms of the Ward report now apply to ASTI members Eligible members should immediately approach their principal/ manager of the school/ centre and seek the award of a CID or top-up CID as appropriate.

Professional time – Junior Cycle:

The ASTI has been informed that where schools are in a position to do so, teachers should be issued with a timetable with reduced contact hours. However, as many schools will not be in a position to do so, practical arrangements will have to be discussed to ensure that all ASTI members will be in receipt of the professional time reduction in timetabled hours to which they are entitled. Further updates on this matter will follow.

Supervision and Substitution opt-out/ opt-in:

Arrangements to allow ASTI members to avail of the S&S opt-out/ opt-in arrangements for the coming school year will be put in place. Further discussions will be necessary in this regard. Updates on the arrangements will be posted as soon as they become available.
