Universities can offer more face-to-face teaching for students after the Easter break,

the Welsh Government has said.

Education Minister Kirsty Williams told a press conference that students could resume a mix
of campus and learning from home from 12 April.

Covid rules require people to "stay local", but they do allow travel for education.

Lateral flow tests will be available twice a week for those going to campus.

Ms Williams told students: "I know your university experience this year has been very
different from your expectations and you've missed out on many of the social aspects of
university life."

However, by doing so they had reduced the risk of catching and spreading the virus which
would "certainly have saved lives", she added.

Universities Wales, which represents the sector, said they looked forward to welcoming
students back.

In England universities could resume in-person teaching for students on practical courses
from 8 March.

Earlier this month the UK government said it would review options for the timing of the return
of students by the end of the Easter holidays.
