Petition launched to close Island schools

Sat, 21 Mar 2020


A petition has been launched to close schools on the Island following the first cases of COVID-19.

Schools closed in the UK yesterday afternoon in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson confirmed this week that Manx schools will remain open.

The Government has confirmed parents can withdraw their children from schools without suffering penalties.

Yesterday, King Willliam's College and The Buchan School announced they will move to online teaching only from Monday.

More than 200 people have signed the petition .
