Letters to the Editor: Department must respect decisions from ASTI

As a post-primary teacher, I am writing to express my concern regarding the accelerated timeline of the senior cycle redevelopment programme.

I strongly urge education minister Helen McEntee to pause this acceleration and not to penalise ASTI members who have voted overwhelmingly (68% to 32%, 73% turnout) to reject the senior cycle redevelopment implementation support measures. In a separate ballot, ASTI members also voted 67% to 33% in favour of industrial action if necessary. This is a powerful signal of the profession’s genuine and widespread concern.
