All schools on Island will close over the TT fortnight.
This closure also extends to the children of key workers, who have previously been attending school.
Dr Allinson says it's so the children of key workers can have a break too.
The education Minister said he's not sure when schools will re-open - it could even be as late as next year.
Although he said when schools do re-open, they will have to be 'redesigned'.
