Answer
On 17 December 2020, the Northern Ireland (NI) Executive announced a six week lockdown, to come into operation on 26 December 2020. During this period colleges must deliver distance learning to the maximum extent possible. Only essential face-to-face learning should take place when it is a necessary and unavoidable part of the course. Learners and staff will be permitted on-site to undertake assessments and examinations. This position will be kept under review in line with NI Executive decisions.
