Challenges and solutions- schooling during lockdown
Our Comhairle Na Nog Youth council have been working really hard on behalf of all the young people 12-18 years in Carlow. They have highlighted the challenges that some young people in Carlow are facing during lockdown specifically around school. They have also made some practical suggestions on how to overcome these challenges. Our hope is that:
- Young people will see that they are not the only ones facing these challenges
- You may take some of the recommendations on board
- Parents and teachers may see the young person’s struggles in a different light
