Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Impact of Covid-19: Education – Return to School and School Transport

Ms Áine Lynch:

On the consideration we are giving to the children's voice in what we are doing, the snap survey was over a 24-hour period and we had to turn it around very quickly. We are also doing a piece of research with NUI Galway aimed at parents and children. A survey is out at the moment and I think we have received nearly 2,000 responses to date from parents and children. We are hoping to get the results during the summer for that piece of research. It is around the impact that home learning has had on children and also their views about going back to school. We will be able to provide the committee with any information from that when it is available.
