Education moving forward
Firstly I’m greatly impressed by the way the Government is handling the day to day running of this Pandemic!
Would not be an idea to have tagged the summer school holidays of 6 weeks (or more) onto the end of the Easter holidays and allow everything to settle down, without trying to home and remote school pupils? This holiday would have taken us into June where the new school year may have started. This I agree would be a long run to Christmas without a decent enough break for Teachers to re-charge their batteries and for kids to bond socially with their families, however an extension to the October break from its original 1 week to 2 weeks could go some way to mitigate these problems. If the education system wasn’t ready to return after that period the a rolling week by week delay could have been easily managed, I’m my opinion.
Why the contribution is important
I think this would have given clarity on the situation at hand. Allowed teachers 6 to 8 weeks of preparation time to head on into an unknown school calendar year. The current situation may not be working and they only way we may find out if pupils are falling behind could be into September and may take longer to get the pupils/students back on track and ready for a step up into High/Grammar School education, get them back on track sooner for important GCSE’s and Highers.
This is all an unknown for us all, and we all need to make adjustments, this may be one possibility ?
