The Education Authority is making “good progress” to restore access to a school IT system following a cyberattack.

The C2K school system, provided by Capita, is used as a curriculum support and the Education Authority had apologised to those preparing for exams over the Easter break.

In a statement on Sunday, the Education Authority (EA) said: “We are continuing to make good progress to restore access to the C2K system following the recent cyber attack.

“Our teams have been working hard through the weekend to restore access to the system safely and securely, starting with post primary schools.”
