Current Covid case numbers present several challenges to schools and communities. The Committee held a one-off evidence session, to understand both how pupils and parents have been coping with the start of the January 2022 term, and whether there are any additional measures that could be undertaken which would be helpful.
The Committee held a one off session and heard from the Association of Directors of Education (ADES), the Association of Headteachers and Deputes in Scotland (AHDS), Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA); and National Parent Forum of Scotland (NPFS).
