Minister of Education Jan O’Sullivan urged the unions to return to talks over the dispute.
ASTI general secretary Pat King said a strike is the best course of action.
“We want it over and done; in and out. We want to move on to what we are supposed to be doing – providing good education to students. We don’t want disruption. We want this resolved” he said.
