No "credible" assurances have been given that schools will be safe places next week for Leaving Cert students and their teachers, according to unions representing second-level teachers. 

While the vast majority of students are switching to remote learning from Monday until at least February 1, Leaving Cert students are to receive three days a week of in-person learning.
