There was welcome news late last week for Leaving Certificate students who were concerned about returning to school three days a week.
Following pressure and an announcement from the teachers union the ASTI that they were directing their members to teach classes remotely, it was announced that Leaving Cert students would now be learning remotely having been told a day earlier that they would attend school three days a week.
Three Summerhill College students expressed their concerns about returning to school, along with sitting exams following a tumultuous year at school. There s just too much risk for students having to go in for three days and then spending the other four days with their family, Summerhill College student Josh Gilligan told The Sligo Champion. Anyone our age could have the virus and not know, it s very easily done and then transmit to a family member that could be high risk.
