Asbestos has been found in most schools across Northern Ireland, Education_NI says
According to separate guidance to schools from the EA, there are three main types of asbestos.
"All three main types are hazardous, however, blue and brown are more hazardous than white ," the EA guidance said.But hundreds contain amosite and more than 70 contain all three types. "Often schools get maintenance work or they get minor works - there can be a considerable amount of time that schools are basically building sites," he told BBC News NI."That prioritisation will have to go alongside the maintenance schedule.
In a statement to BBC News NI, a spokesperson for the EA said: "We appreciate the emotive nature of this subject matter but wish to reassure both pupils and parents that the health and wellbeing of our children and young people, staff and the wider school community remains our highest priority.
