Teachers in talks to end curb on parent meetings [Independent.ie]
- Published: 22 September 2009
A CONTROVERSIAL ban on holding parent-teacher meetings outside school hours is likely to be lifted this week, the Irish Independent has learned.
The ban is causing hardship for parents who cannot get time off work to attend meetings to discuss their children's education. Moves to lift the ban follow talks between the National Parents' Council Post Primary and the two unions who imposed it.
The executive of the Teachers' Union of Ireland and the standing committee of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland will review the situation at separate meetings towards the weekend.
