The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) is advising its members to engage with the new calculated grading plan for the Leaving Cert - but has a number of "major concerns" about the process.
They include the Minister's rescinding of his previous decision to award students 100% for orals and certain practical examinations, which were to have taken place earlier this year.
The ASTI is calling for the Minister not to renege on his granting of full marks to students for orals, practicals, etc. and that this be extended to all Leaving Certificate project/ practical work.
The union also has concerns regarding the data to be relied upon by teachers in this process and said it will raise these matters with the Department of Education at
