Donegal ETB welcomes the next phase of the return to in-school teaching and learning from Monday 01 March with final year Leaving Certificate and LCA students in its post-primary schools and second year Leaving Certificate students in its Further Education and Training Centre in Letterkenny returning to the classroom. It is expected that fifth year post-primary students will return on 15 March and all other students will return on 12 April.
