The Catholic Schools Parents Association has expressed its opposition to proposals to hold parent-teacher meetings at night.

The move was suggested during talks aimed at improving teachers' productivity in return for pay increases awarded under the benchmarking process.

CPSA spokesperson Barbara Johnson said the group supports the holding of parent-teacher meetings outside of school hours, but said these should be done on non-school days rather than in the evenings or at night because the majority of parents have work commitments.
