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.
