Schools in England unlikely to reopen until March- Boris Johnson

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that schools will not reopen to all pupils immediately after the February half-term holidays, as originally proposed.

Boris Johnson said a final decision would depend on meeting vaccination targets, and schools would get two weeks’ notice, but it was now anticipated that schools would not open their doors for young people other than those who are vulnerable or children of key workers, until 8th March.

Currently, only children of key workers and vulnerable children are attending school, with the remaining students studying at home.

The UK Prime Minister stated that the reopening of schools was a “national priority” and that “The first sign of normality beginning to return should be pupils going back to their classrooms.”
