A recommendation aimed at resolving the secondary teachers' dispute is being considered by the teachers' union, the ASTI, and the Department of Education this evening.
The union's Standing Committee is not expected to make a statement until after a meeting of the Central Executive Committee at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
However the recommendation is not expected to offer the teachers sufficient grounds for calling off their industrial action.
It is now expected that 16,000 of the country's secondary teachers will resume their series of one-day strikes and refuse to assist in the conducting and marking of exams.
The union suspended its action in January to allow the Labour Court to draw up its proposals.
But its insistence that teachers should get a 30 per cent pay rise and the Government's determination to follow the findings of the benchmarking body on civil service pay, will have made it difficult for the Labour Court to have identified room for compromise.
