Regarding attendance, then, after 20 days of absence in a year there is supposed to be a referral to the National Education Welfare Board, NEWB, and circular 0028/2013 states that a school should strike a child's name off the roll after he or she has been absent for 20 days. I assume guidance will be provided regarding how to manage that issue, given that children are being asked to self-isolate or not come in if they have symptoms?
