Answer
As of 12 April all primary and post primary pupils returned to face to face teaching.
The return of pupils in a safe manner to full-time face-to-face learning was a key priority for the Executive.
The Minister for Education published a statement on 1 April on the return of all pupils to school which is available at: https://www.education-ni.gov.uk/news/all-pupils-return-school-after-easter-break
