On 12 June 2020 my Department published the report to Government “Planning for reopening schools in line with the Roadmap for reopening society and business”. The report set out the clear ambition to develop a sustainable plan to fully reopen schools at the start of the next school year.

Receipt of the public health advice on the 1^stJuly will further underpin this important work and ongoing engagements with education partners and stakeholders in terms of planning and providing guidance for schools to ensure the return to school is safe for children and staff. It is envisaged that this guidance will be finalised by the end of July in order to allow time for schools to implement the necessary arrangements locally.
