Teaching unions in the UK have called for pupils to return to remote learning over fears that the new COVID-19 variant will make classrooms unsafe. NASUWT, the teachers’ union, wrote to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson to urge him to allow schools to ‘restrict onsite provision to pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, together with children of frontline/key workers, and that such restrictions will apply in the case of those schools and colleges serving communities in the highest tier areas’. The government says its approach to schools is kept under “constant review”. Sky’s Tom Rayner reports.
