Created on: 10 Apr 2026

The purpose of this briefing is to set out the EIS’s policy on the remote delivery of teaching and learning by electronic means and to offer advice to Local Association Secretaries on how to approach proposals for such delivery, should they arise in their area.


This advice relates specifically to the remote delivery of teaching and learning via online platforms of synchronous teaching and learning of the school curriculum to learners who are not physically present in the same space as the class teacher. This will be referred to throughout the briefing as ‘remote delivery’.
