School leaders in England are warning of weeks of disruption owing to high levels of staff Covid absences, which could lead to children being sent home to learn remotely.
Schools in England are set to move some lessons online, as widespread absences caused by the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant prompted the government to urge headteachers to adopt “more flexible” approaches to learning.
English schools should not teach “contested theories and opinions … such as white privilege” as fact, the government has said prior to the publication of new guidance outlining how teaching certain political issues could break the law.
