Schools in Northern Ireland have been advised that pupils should wear extra clothing in cold weather as institutions struggle with rising energy bills. The guidance highlights the pressure school budgets face from soaring heating costs during the cost-of-living crisis, prompting debate about whether pupils' comfort and learning conditions are being put at risk to save money.
Why now: Rising energy costs and the cost-of-living crisis are making schools' advice to wrap up warm instead of turning up the heating a talking point.
