The examining body for next weekend's transfer test has confirmed that almost 8,000 Primary 7 pupils will sit the test as planned.
The first transfer test, run by AQE, is scheduled for Saturday, January 9, with two further papers to be taken by pupils hoping to attend grammar schools in Northern Ireland to follow on January 16 and January 23.
A statement from the exams body echoes what Education Minster Peter Weir said on Thursday, that there would be no change to the transfer tests schedule despite primary school pupils moving to remote learning from next Monday after the return to school after the Christmas holidays was delayed by a week.
