The COVID Diaries – 73 9th June
Reality has finally dawned on the government. If you need to reduce the size of classes in school to ensure social distancing, then you need more classrooms and more teachers. That means, with Reception, year 1 and year 6 now returning in primary schools, there aren’t any classrooms and teachers left for other year groups to return.
So, the government’s intention to have all primary school children back in school before the end of this term was never realistic and was never going to happen.
As they say: “you do the maths”!
