School student representatives will call for a stronger say in how their schools address the challenges of Covid-19, and for greater communication with them, including more information regarding cases of the virus, when they address an Oireachtas committee later today.
Second level students' union ISSU will tell politicians that more engagement would help reduce the fear and uncertainty currently being experienced by some students.
In a submission to the committee in advance of their appearance, ISSU said "genuine and constructive" communication must take place between local student representatives or councils and school managers in relation to school guidelines and rules on safety.
