MHK to query situation over secondary school exams

What will happen for those who were due to take exams this summer?

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will put forward that question to Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson MHK in the House of Keys next week.

He wants to know what the situation is in each secondary school regarding exams due to be held in the summer and what the Department's policy is on this.

It comes following schools across the Island shutting on Monday, March 23 - and only re-opening 12 weeks later due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, 14 'hub schools' were able to provide education for children classed as vulnerable or those of key workers since that date.

Attendance at schools is currently voluntary until September.
