Education Minister Peter Weir has been urged to "re-order his priorities" in his handling of the logistics of the transfer test during the pandemic.
The Northern Ireland Teachers' Council (NITC) questioned the timing of Education Minister Peter Weir's statement on Friday night when he urged all education stakeholders to work together to ensure children could sit the transfer test in their own schools.
Also on Friday his announcement that all Northern Ireland schools are to open again in the first week of January was slammed as a "disaster waiting to happen".
The Northern Ireland's Teachers Council said last night that Minister Weir was "attempting to deflect blame from himself for his failure to plan for an alternative to hundreds of children mixing in centralised test centres from January 9".
