When will children be able to go to school again? Boris Johnson says government hopes to start reopening English schools on 8 March, depending on various factors

The children of, and children deemed vulnerable, can still go to school each day. This includes those without access to a laptop at home, or a quiet place to study.

The government says schools should provide three to five hours of teaching a day for pupils at home, depending on age.Colleges and universities are also teaching students remotely until mid-February - except courses for future key workers .

Caretakers open unlock doors/gates. The students arrive and school walk into classes and school then has inset day for training.

My biggest concern is the students with shielding family members. They are being told each time they MUST return but they don't want to bring risk home. They should allow online access as well as in class for these people.

In August new infections were very low, then schools reopened in September and we all know what happened. What makes Boris Johnson think that won't happen again? Teachers and parents aren't vaccinated yet.

Schools should not open until after Easter when more of the population will be vaccinated

U-turns permitting!

All for a bad flu, sorry I meant something as lethal as 'yellow fever'

Also, masks don't work.

Everyone should refuse to be tested.

Stop saying All pupils will be back on 8th March. My 14 Yr old's school have already emailed to say they will let me know when I can take her in, DURING THE W/C 8TH MARCH, for a Covid test. If she tests negative they will then give me a return to school date.

Still fails to mention that for secondary schools students only return once they have had a negative test. Schools are expected to test students during that week.

With sincerity and gratitude in my heart I’m doing this testimony so other people will know that this platform is real and legit, I’m grateful markdonaldAmeli

Badly, it will happen badly.

My child won’t be going back to school forced to wear a muzzle n tested like an animal ! Ffs your not even allowed to stick s plaster on them ! 👿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👿

Asking my 5 y.o. Granddaughter if X was in school today she replied, “No, ‘cause she’s not a key worker.” How quickly do our young pick up our vocabulary and see it through their eyes!

This is becoming tedious. Since boris spaffed his latest dribble yesterday all you've done is attempt to spin every detail numerous ways constantly.

what about the pubs?

Good question - wish I knew!!!

Here we go...stay home, stay safe, dangerous new variants not fully understood are amongst us. And... Send children back to school... Disbelief...Yo yo decisions. We will be back in lockdown in months...

Johnson clearly stating here that immunity is obtained 3 weeks after receiving the first dose and justifying the opening of schools on that basis! This is way beyond negligent.

I dont understand now everyone wants schools open,but before Xmas everyone wanted them closed, moan moan moan, its embarrassing, and lazy parents moaning about having to home school their kids is ridiculous!!!

Could you PLEASE get bbclaurak Laura Kuenssberg to start asking mildly (would be a start) probing questions to the PM. Her questioning is getting too cosy and frankly embarrassing

Cue teachers moaning

bbclaurak 'How do you rate the chance?' 'What's your best guess?' Seems more like Betfred than journalism!

Sooo many bed wetting sheep on this thread! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Why keep asking a question that is currently impossible to answer because of covidvirus infections 😡

Kate Hoey should stop trying to interfere with the JCVI order of vaccination. Look at the evidence. Being scared of catching Covid is not the same as being at increased risk of dying of Covid Keir_Starmer BorisJohnson cmo AndrewMarr9

thank you BBC for looking for positives not like other channels continually looking for fault in our government

Ah the beeb had another socialist on extolling the virtues of a good socialist teacher movements

College n university Are they included as there never mentioned

Boris said the earliest schools would open would be 8th March, so why didn’t the BBC report that schools will be closed until at least 8th March, thereby better reflecting the uncertain situation...

Bloody schools schools, schools! Sod the schools! What about people like myself self employed! Not working! And struggling to survive! Always time to learn! Starving to death on another hand is starting to piss me off! Dickheads!

Still no mention of universities. They are back next week for certain degrees. Absolute madness, given the insane lack of social distancing in lab work last term

No school should open until the kids are tested at least twice a week then it's safer for the wider community, as far as kids mental health and wellness a lot of kids are doing better now as they're not been bullied or put under pier pressure

Christ, UK media have a lot to answer for! Why are schools open? When are schools going back? Why aren’t we in lockdown? What about the damage to the economy? When will we be out of lockdown? mixedmessages

Can you just stop televising this tripe or at least put it on the channel it deserves - CBeebies.

schools should never reopen as the virus is here forever and will never disappear

Never, cos a new variant will be announced by Hancock no doubt.

Again the bbc have got their way by pushing for a date but hopefully they will shut up now about schools and if they have to extend the date great we’re not ready don’t say it is another u turn

BBCLancashire Mine will not go back until the adults in our house have had the vaccine

Why not just reopen after Easter hols, having kids back for two weeks then Easter seems bit daft

April

How can he even be thinking of opening up schools when there were over 1700 deaths yesterday?

India covid19 update: All cinemas open, swimming pools open, mass gathering allowed, signs travel bubble with 5 countries, all malls and shopping centres fully operational, schools colleges opening, no more lockdown - yet masks are compulsory. This we can call as progressive.

No chance. Wont open until after the Easter holidays. Even if there is a small chance they do open before then, they wont open to every student. Probably just the year 11s and the ECPs before gradually increasing the numbers day by day. It won't happen though 100%.

Never has the word 'hopes' been more crucial, let's face it so far every decision Boris has made has either been back tracked or been a total disaster and cost many thousands of lives, perhaps its time the scientists took over the country until Covid is under control

Johnson deserves to be jailed

New to Twitter, follow for some daily positivity!

Please can the teachers have the vaccine and the school children . During half term .

Schools are open and many have over 50% of kids in them, either close them properly for all but actual key workers like 1st lockdown or open them fully.

They should close playgrounds too as this is contradicting schools closing

So the PM gives a date far enough in advance to buy off those who wish to keep their children at home and in the vain hope of damping down the media criticism around children's education. Next will be those asking as to whether a three week Winter term is a waste of time.

Are we there yet.. Are we there yet... Just like a little kid... THEY'LL OPEN WHEN IT'S SAFE TO. SHUT THE F UP

thank you very much for your work
