Arrangements are being made by my Department to issue a further circular letter to all primary and post-primary schools highlighting the importance of schools' and parents' awareness of problems posed by the weight of pupils' schoolbags and drawing the attention of schools in particular to the recommendations contained in the report of the Working Group on the Weight of Schoolbags.

Arrangements are also in train to have a copy of the report of the working group published on my Department's website.
