SCHOOLS and colleges in England have been asked to shift to remote learning as part of a third national lockdown announced by the Prime Minister. In his Monday evening address, Boris Johnson announced the biggest changes to schooling since the first lockdown nearly 10 months ago as part of harsher restrictions. The plans will be in place until at least February half-term. Vulnerable children and those of key workers will still be able to go to colleges, primary and secondary schools, and Mr Johnson said nurseries and other early years settings will remain open in England. Mr Johnson also said it would not be “possible or fair” for all exams to go ahead as normal in the summer, and added that, “The Education Secretary will work with Ofqual to put in place alternative arrangements”.
