The time frame for changes to secondary schools to allow them to reopen in September is too tight, according to the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland.

Yesterday, the Government revealed its €375m school reopening plan, which includes funding for more than 1,000 additional teachers at post-primary being made available, in addition to funding for 120 extra counselling posts. Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Ms MacDonald said a staggered return for students might be necessary to allow them and teachers adjust to a new regime.

Ms MacDonald said bringing extra teachers on board is no small task and some schools will also need extra infrastructure or portacabins brought on site.
