Welsh government ministers “passing the buck” on schools face coverings says Plaid

PLAID Cymru Shadow Minister for Transformation of Public Services Delyth Jewell MS criticises Welsh ministers over the latest guidance on face coverings in schools,
Delyth Jewell said:

“This is the latest example of the Welsh Government passing the buck rather than leading the way. It’s not good enough that Ministers aren’t setting national policy.

“Local authorities are already under huge pressures due to the COVID 19 pandemic. With under a week to go until schools reopen, teachers, parents and pupils need clarity not another layer of bureaucracy.

“The education sector has already endured months of confusion and leaving it in limbo with days to go is no way to start the new term.”
