Senior members of the teachers' union will sit down with officials at the Department of Education today, to try and avert industrial action and prevent the closure of hundreds of secondary schools across the country.
The first of seven days of strike action is scheduled for tomorrow week, but teachers will withdraw from supervision and substitution duties from November 7th, after the mid-term break.
The Department's begun a major drive to recruit, train and roster people to cover those services.
