The secondary teachers' union is fighting back against Labour's plan to enforce government-approved methods for teaching reading, writing and maths.

The Post Primary Teachers Association says politicians should not be telling teachers how to do their job.

Acting president of the PPTA Chris Abercrombie spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
