The Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, John Swinney, has written a response to the British Irish Group of Teacher Unions (BIGTU).
BIGTU sent Mr Swinney a letter on 4th May 2020 on behalf of almost 1 million teachers and education staff, warning of the "very real risk of creating a spike in the transmission of the virus by a premature opening of schools."
