Boris Johnson has faced mounting calls to delay the reopening of schools as coronavirus cases soar. But according to TES, a new plan approved by ministers will see Year 11 and 13 exam students not return from January 4 as planned. Covid-19 testing in schools will commence the following week, starting on January 11. And according to the report, all students would be back in school from the week of January 18. It’s time for the Prime Minister to own his mistakes and be honest about whether students can return to schools and colleges in a week’s time.”
