Youngest pupils back in class as ministers of both nations rule out following English model
Some of the youngest pupils are back in classrooms in Wales and Scotland, but ministers in the two nations have insisted that they will phase the return for other year groups rather than follow the English model of reopening schools to all pupils at the same time.
The Welsh education minister, Kirsty Williams, said she had seen no scientific evidence to support the UK government’s plan for all pupils to return to school in England on 8 March.
