Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

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

Mr. Hubert Loftus:

That is the engagement we have had with a lot of stakeholders and individual schools. Our focus is on making sure there is sufficient space available. The public health guidance is very clear that we must maximise the space within the classroom to facilitate the pupils in the classroom and maximise the space within the existing school building.

We have had very positive and constructive engagement with the relevant schools and patrons. It is about everyone working together in a constructive way to ensure the schools' return at the end of August is as seamless as possible for everyone.
