Secondary school teachers will down tools and hold a lunchtime protest at schools across Cork today.

They're opposing plans to speed up the overhaul of the Leaving Cert.

Teaching unions believe the faster pace of reform will be done without the proper resources or training and will lead to inequalities among schools.

Donal Cremin - President of the ASTI - says teachers are worried:

"We need quality training for our teachers, we need to slow down the process because it's going too fast and it's not giving opportunities to everybody to get fully trained up. And we need quality training, and we need quality control in the training as well."
