Teachers have called for more detailed contingency plans for potential local lockdowns, including clarity about the infection rate thresholds at which school closures could or should be triggered.
A motion debated during an online conference of the National Education Union (NEU) this weekend urges pressure be put on government to offer more clarity about when schools will need to close.
It also calls on NEU reps at school level to “regularly review the safety of full opening in their schools and colleges” and is asking that government provides more detailed guidance and resources for blended learning provision.
The online event took place on Saturday (October 3) and the motion – which was passed by members – also instructs the NEU to set-up a working group to look at strategies to develop blended learning.
