The schools in question have not been named, and the final decision won’t be confirmed until potential appeals processes are concluded in the coming weeks.
Only six counties will see a higher number of schools impacted, and Former President of the INTO and current Councillor Joe Killeen says the pupil teacher ratio needs to be reduced.
