Ongoing pay dispute meant cover wasn't available, according to Julie Edge
Ongoing industrial action by some teachers meant one secondary school had to ask some students to stay at home last week.
That's according to Education Minister Julie Edge, who has been giving evidence to a Tynwald select committee this morning.
Ballakermeen High School had to ask some pupils to study at home between Wednesday and Friday last week due to staff illness.
Ms Edge says the current action by one union, the NASUWT, means not enough teachers were available to provide cover:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
