Efforts to re-open schools in the UK are facing a range of problems. As outlined in this article from The Independent many parents and teachers are unsure of the safety of returning to schools.
Schools across England expect high numbers of pupils and teachers will not return to the classroom, despite the easing of coronavirus lockdown measures, a report suggests.
More than a quarter (29 per cent) of available teachers will be working from home only, according to the National Foundation for Educational Research study, prompting fears that shortages will affect teaching standards.
The report, based on a survey of more than 1,200 school leaders, suggests they are expecting nearly half (46 per cent) of families to keep their children at home. Education unions and council leaders have urged the government to reconsider its plans to open schools more widely because of safety concerns.
The government says its decisions have been “based on the best scientific and medical advice, with the welfare of children and staff at the heart of all considerations”. There are no easy answers anywhere in world at the moment to the difficulties being faced as a result of the Corona virus to get children back to school.
