Pre-school, nursery and primary schools pupils in P1 to P3 will remain in school until the start of the Easter break.
The decision, which was agreed by the Executive yesterday, means that the youngest pupils will continue with face-to-face teaching for the remainder of this term.
Decisions on the timing for the return of other primary and post-primary pupils will be considered next Tuesday as part of an overall review of the current restrictions.
