Second-level teachers to protest outside Donegal schools next week

Second-level teachers in Donegal will hold a lunchtime protest outside their schools next Tuesday over changes to the Senior Cycle. 

They believe the alterations will undermine standards and threaten fairness and quality for Leaving Cert students.

The protest, which is taking place nationwide on Tuesday, November 19, is being organised by second-level teacher unions the ASTI and the TUI. Teachers are calling for a postponement of the implementation of the Senior Cycle redevelopment programme.

Upwards of 30,000 second-level teachers all over the country will participate in the protest.
