Schools leaders angered that government gave them little notice that they will have to run a mass testing regime
Teachers in England were this weekend desperately asking parents with experience using PPE and those with a “medical background” to help oversee pupil Covid tests, amid growing complaints over mass-testing plans.
Gavin Williamson, the education secretary, revealed on Thursday that secondary schools would close their doors to the majority of their pupils in the first week of term in January, so that they can get ready for the mass Covid testing of their pupils.
