London: Schools and colleges that had been closed since March finally reopened on Tuesday due to a lockdown imposed to deal with the global epidemic Covid-19 in England. The Department of Education stated that students would return to school with a “system of control” to reduce direct contact between students, teachers, and other employees and to distance themselves from social interactions. In schools and colleges, it will be necessary to cover the face in public areas and corridors. Britain’s Education Minister Gavin Williamson said, “Schools across the country started reopening to all students.
For many, today will be the first day of the new school year, while thousands of children will once again go to school. ” The minister said, “I am not underestimating the challenges of the last few months but I know how important it is for children to return to school. Not just for their education but also for their development and welfare .. ”. The government said that students are being encouraged to use bicycles or scooters to go to school. At the same time, the government has given an additional £ 40 million in aid to local transport authorities as a measure to stop the spread of the coronavirus to increase transportation services from school to home and reduce pressure on public transport.
