The Nation reports that the Federal Government has directed the reopening of 47 Unity Schools previously closed due to insecurity, signalling a push to restore learning under strengthened safety arrangements.

The return is expected to be phased, with security readiness and local risk context shaping how quickly each school fully resumes.
