Breakthrough in Junior Cycle reform dispute
Both unions are expected to meet on Friday.
A resolution is in sight on the thorny issue of Junior Cert Cycle reform.
Teachers' unions and the Department of Education have agreed a proposal to resolve the ongoing dispute which has seen two days of strike action.
Both unions will meet on Friday - after which the proposals will be published.
The Minister for Education Jan O'Sullivan says discussions on reducing the focus on one terminal exam, classroom-based assessment and greater professional collaboration between teachers were among the principles leading to the agreement.
