Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

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

Ms Mai Fanning:

I would agree with Deputy Lahart. We are looking for decisions to be made. Having said that, we have to take into account the fact that we do not know precisely what the health advice will be in September or October. Decisions need to be made and we need contingency plans to be in place. I would be confident that could come about because the departmental advisory group that we as a parents' representative body are involved in is very progressive and open, and all topics and ways to progress through the pandemic are discussed and openly considered. Nothing is left off the table. The logistics of implementing any one avenue is looked at. We are still in the middle of that discussion.
