Some of Sunderland s schools are as full as they were before Christmas, despite the latest national coronavirus lockdown, councillors have been told.
Under the latest measures, pupils have been told to learn at home until at least February.
However, schools have remained open for the children of critical workers, or those deemed to be vulnerable.
A broadening of the definitions has meant that some primary schools could have almost all children attending.
Sunderland City Council s director, Jill Colbert, was speaking at a meeting of its Children, Education and Skills Scrutiny Committee, as reported by the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).
