‘Rushed reopening’ of schools in NI could lead to next care home crisis, union warns

Schools across Northern Ireland are due to reopen on Monday for Primary 7, Year 12 and Year 14 pupils, and for vulnerable children across all year groups.

The “rushed reopening” of schools could lead to the next care home crisis, a trade union official has warned.

Justin McCamphill of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) was one of six trade union representatives who expressed concern to the Stormont education committee.
