Thousands of children are missing school every day across Wales - with an average one in 10 off as Covid continues to disrupt education, latest Welsh Government data shows.
Whole classes were shut and pupils returned to remote learning in some areas in the last week, but the First Minister has said the start of the school term has been "easier than expected".
Some schools have had more than one in 10 staff off with Covid. Cases among staff and pupils have ranged from between just over 1,600 to 1,500 each week of this term, separate data from Public Health Wales shows.
