Many parents of Primary 7 children are worried sick due to uncertainties about how they will transfer to post-primary schools.
That is according to the principal of a primary school in Lisburn.
A teaching union has also said that primary principals are at a loss over how to advise parents about the transfer process.
Transfer tests were cancelled for 2021 and most grammar schools have not yet said how they will select pupils.
All post-primary schools have to provide the Education Authority (EA) with admissions criteria by Friday, but it is still unclear whether some grammars will use academic criteria.
