Must do better Boris, say heads '); '); HEADTEACHERS have expressed their frustration at the Government’s 11th hour decision to close schools and switch to remote learning. Boris Johnson announced on Monday evening that all schools, colleges and universities would be shut for the majority of students until at least the February half-term as the coronavirus pandemic worsens. Some had been back just a day after the Government insisted at the weekend it was safe for children to return at the start of term. But then the Prime Minister announced a third nationwide lockdown in less than a year, saying that hospitals were under more pressure from covid-19 than at any time since the start of the pandemic.
