Over 30,000 secondary school teachers in Ireland are set to protest outside schools, demanding a delay in the implementation of Leaving Certificate reforms. Unions voice concerns that the accelerated plan may undermine educational standards and create inequities among schools due to resource disparities. They advocate for equitable funding, adequate training, and a careful approach to curriculum changes. The protests are scheduled for lunchtime and will not disrupt student classes. The educational reforms aim to shift assessment away from traditional exams, yet teachers stress the need for sufficient preparation before changes take effect.
