February saw a number of schools experiencing closures for multiple days due to adverse weather conditions.

 

While class may be back in session now, many have been left wondering how schools will make up for lost time.

 

Decisions on how to make up for these school days lost to snow will be made by each individual primary school, BreakingNews.ie reports.

 

Assistant General Secretary of the primary school teachers union, Deirdre O'Connor, said at their conference that teachers will ensure tuition is made up in a way that is suitable for their particular school. 

 

 

"The decisions that they make will be in and around lost tuition time, so if schools are satisfied that they can cover the curriculum, that they can do what needs to be done, then they may be able to do that within the days that they have allocated to them," Deirdre said of the matter. 

 

"But that would be a decision that is taken at school level, but you have to bear in mind that teachers have been working very hard to ensure that children have covered all the ground that they need to cover."

 

What do you think of this decision, mums?
