The ISSU is recommending:

The schools to re-open for 3rd, 5th, 6th Year and SEN students, and children of frontline/essential workers to go into school to partake in online learning if it is not possible for them to do so from home. Students in 1st, 2nd and 4th Year should receive online tuition, with increased training for online education and provision of technological resources. Teachers should be supported to teach from their classrooms.

What does this mean?:

Schools re-open for 3rd, 5th, 6th Year and SEN students to receive in-person tuition.

• Children of frontline/essential workers will have the choice to attend school to receive support and supervision to partake in online/remote learning.

• 1st, 2nd, and 4th Year students will receive remote tuition, with increased training and technology provided for online teaching and learning.

• Supports will be put in place so that teachers can conduct their online teaching from their classrooms.
