Back to school: Send in your questions for Northern Ireland's Education Minister

We want YOUR questions on schools and education

Sometimes the news can be hard to keep up with, and it might also be tough to make sense of what it all means for our own lives.

Things are quite different at the moment, with new restrictions, updates on vaccinations, plans for schools to reopen and trying to understand the different rules in different parts of the UK.

Schools in England and Northern Ireland aren't expected to open before 8 March, while Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has announced a phased return to classrooms from 22 February.

In Wales, some pupils will also return from 22 February if the rate of coronavirus cases continues to come down.
