73.8% of secondary school pupils are working from home, along with 39.6% of primary school students.

The States rejected an emergency proposition to close schools at the end of last week, rather than the end of term.
Education Minister Senator Tracey Vallois, who was absent from last week's vote due to ill health, said she raised several concerns in November when coronavirus cases started to spike, but that medical advice was for students to stay at school.
