Schools re-open across the Island this morning after the 'circuit-break' lockdown was lifted.
All schools closed on Thursday 7 January, except for 14 educational hubs maintained for vulnerable children and those of essential workers.
Dr Alex Allinson MHK, Minister for Education, Sport and Culture said: ‘It is great to see children being able to return to their face-to-face lessons.
‘I would like to thank our teachers and all our school staff for the excellent job they have done supporting our young people over this circuit break lockdown, and parents for their patience and resilience through this difficult time.
School bus services have resumed to a normal timetable from today.
