On Newstalk Breakfast, the ASTI’s president, Anne Piggott, said her union was committed to finding a solution as quickly as possible to find an exam that would have standards.
The Minister said Ms Foley is working 24/7 to deliver that and is engaging with all stakeholders, very intensively.The Minister added: “Look that was yesterday, and today is a new day. I’m very pleased that the ASTI have accepted an invitation from Minister Foley to meet with her this afternoon.” Mr Harris said there are no perfect solutions in a pandemic but that Ms Foley is trying to “find the best possible way forward that serves students well and that has the confidence of teachers”.Mr Collins questioned why a participant in the talks would “walk away without giving any advanced notification”.
Beyond unhelpful.Being dreadfully slow in getting vaccines out is much more unhelpful. Look at what would be really helpful. Inoculated class of 2021
Norma foley is trying to bully Asti. Asti should not walk out but should fight tooth and nail for standards that leave leaving as true representation of academic ability not a guessing game.
Do the ASTI care about public opinion, no , they still get paid and it's not new to them.
Sick of this .I hope teachers are paying careful attention. Never was a group more vilified. When things are normal (if ever), do not ever forget how low down in the pecking order you really are.
If school is safe as were being told all year how come ther not deamed safe for exams in warm months

ASTI agree to talks with Department of Education after pulling out of Leaving Cert talksMinister of State Hildegarde Naughten said it’s “disappointing” that Leaving Cert discussions had “broke down”. It’s a joke, All the calls for predicted grades and the criticisms of Norma Foley... and who knew the teachers would turn out to be the enemy of the 2021 LC students? 🤔 Just hire other teachers. If the militant unions don't want to work then fine... I'm sure there are non-union teachers happy to work.
