In response to the announcement that more pupils could return to schools before Easter, Plaid Cymru Shadow Minister for Education, Sian Gwenllian MS said,
“If the scientific advice recommends that it is safe for pupils to return to schools, then I’m very pleased to hear this. Nothing beats face to face learning and being in the company of fellow pupils.
“It is however disappointing that school staff have not been considered a priority for vaccination within their individual age groups as a means to make them safer with the return of more pupils.
“It’s also crucial to bear in mind that this is a phased return to school and that many pupils will remain at home; it’s important that digital learning continues to be supported and that pupils have the proper equipment.”
