Education minister appeals for help from students and parents
The education minister has admitted government needs to 'get a lid' on rising absences within Island schools.
Winter illnesses and Covid-19 are creating problems particularly at Ballakermeen and QEII high schools.
So far this term 358 positive cases of Coronavirus have been recorded within educational settings.
Dr Alex Allinson says he understands if parents, and students, are feeling anxious but is asking for help bringing the situation under control:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
"One of the Island's foremost champions of Manx heritage" to receive Tynwald Honour
No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
