Closure of hundreds of schools looking increasingly likely

The closure of hundreds of schools across the country is looking increasingly likely.

17 hundred secondary teachers will withdraw from supervision and substitution duties on Monday - unless a deal can be reached between the ASTI and Education Department.

But the ASTI is indicating the talks with the Department of Education may not resume until tomorrow.

A spokesperson said preparations are being made for the possibility that Monday's action, and Tuesday's one day strike will go ahead.
