More time is needed in order to plan for a mix of blended learning for sixth-year students, the main organisation representing principals and deputy principals has warned.

The National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) made its comments ahead of a partial return to school next week that will see sixth-year students return to their classrooms.
