With 61,736 students receiving their Leaving Cert results today, 7,460 of them will be checking to see what mark they earned in ag science.
The IASTA has written to Minister for Education Norma Foley expressing concerns over the Leaving Certificate agricultural science curriculum.
The IASTA has said it was "not consulted" before the revised guidelines for the agricultural science curriculum were published.
The association representing agricultural science teachers in secondary schools in Ireland has said that it has been in contact with the SEC.
The Irish Agricultural Science Teachers' Association is hopeful that progress will be achieved on the updating of the agri-science syllabus.
