Principals confident of minimal impact of lockdown

From Morning Report, 6:13 am on 16 February 2021

Auckland principals are confident this week's lockdown will have little impact on children's learning - so long as it is only for three days.

They say some of Auckland's 250,000 school students will find a longer lockdown difficult because they do not have Internet connections at home.

They say the fact this lockdown is happening so early in the year has presented its own challenges.
