Some year groups have missed lesson time due to staff shortages
Keeping students in classes despite staffing pressures is a priority for the education department.
That's from Education Minister Julie Edge after a number of Island schools had to ask some pupils to stay at home due to teacher shortages in the run up to the Easter break.
Covid-19 and other viruses circulating in the community have been blamed for the high levels of staff absence.
Ms Edge says her department is looking for ways to alleviate the pressure:

No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
