Education minister appeals for help from students and parents
The education minister has admitted government needs to 'get a lid' on rising absences within Island schools.
Winter illnesses and Covid-19 are creating problems particularly at Ballakermeen and QEII high schools.
So far this term 358 positive cases of Coronavirus have been recorded within educational settings.
Dr Alex Allinson says he understands if parents, and students, are feeling anxious but is asking for help bringing the situation under control:
Current tests for prostate cancer 'not really specific enough' for widespread screening programme
Cummal Mooar to remain in place until replacement commissionedÂ
Minister ignores internet 'trolling'
UK Budget: What does it mean for the Isle of Man?
