The secondary teachers union, the PPTA is calling for an end to funding for out of zone students, as a means of cutting down on competition between schools.
The proposal is part of a discussion document on the review of Tomorrow's Schools.
The secondary teachers will discuss and vote on it at their conference early next month. PPTA President, Jack Boyle says competition has got out of hand in parts of the country, causing harm to the rolls of lower-decile schools.
