The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) has rejoined talks with the Department of Education on this year’s Leaving Certificate after pulling out earlier this week.
The union is reentering the talks after receiving assurances from Minister for Education Norma Foley on several of its concerns.
Teachers will not be asked to rank their students in order of merit, which was a requirement last year, the union was told.
ASTI said it will “constructively engage to seek to ensure ways are found to facilitate this year’s Leaving Certificate students in moving on with their lives”.
