Q&A: What is the latest when it comes to schools reopening?

Further periods of school closures are not expected, according to the Department of Education

Teaching unions said on Monday their members would return to classrooms in August and September if that is in accordance with public health advice. 

Will schools reopen in September?

Yes, as it stands. It’s worth remembering  schools remained open throughout September to December last year, operating throughout level 5 restrictions, while the rest of society remained largely closed.
