We heard from the sector about the lessons learnt from lockdown—what worked well and how certain schools responded—and the report also spoke to the benefit we could see if these practices would have been more widely adopted. The Minister noted his concern regarding school attendance rates during last year's lockdown. A priority for the Government was to set up a means to measure the speed at which attendance rates improved post-lockdown. The Minister took us through how the process is managed, and we had a discussion about what could be done to actually improve the attendance rate at our schools and kura.
