NI education: Some schools to move to remote working

Advertisements

The EA is coordinating the emergency response and providing assistance to schools that have been impacted by the storm.

“Staff are out on the ground assessing the damage to schools, taking forward essential repairs, and establishing whether it is safe for the more severely damaged schools to open on Monday,” Givan said.

The department has estimated that more than 100 schools are still without power.

“While every effort continues to be made over this weekend to ensure that impacted schools can reopen as soon as practicably possible, it is likely that some schools may need to move to remote learning on Monday 27 January 2025.”

Givan added that if a decision has been taken to close a school building, principals should provide learning from home.

Schools will be communicating any special arrangements or closures directly with parents.
