Face masks expected to be no longer required in classrooms in England from 17 May

About half of students have been studying online since January - and they will be able to return to face-to-face teaching, although some courses might already have effectively stopped teaching by this stage of the university year.When schools returned during last term face masks were expected to be worn in secondary schools, where social distancing was not possible - in a safety measure intended to be temporary.

Schools minister Nick Gibb has already signalled to the education select committee that if "the roadmap is going in the direction that we expect it to go in, then we hope that face masks will not be necessary after that date". Geoff Barton, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, said: "It is obviously better for communication and learning if we don't need to have children wearing face masks in classrooms.

The heads' leader said any change should be kept under review, depending on the safety advice, and that it was vital that the decision on masks should have "clarity" so that schools are not facing "grey areas left to negotiate".

Sensible at last

There were 5 covid deaths in UK on 8 May. Road deaths average 5 per day. But we let our children out. It can't be fun wearing a mask all day and great news that it's hopefully ending.

About time too. What an awful, draconian measure by headteachers who can't think for themselves.

More has to be done, strict no nonsense punishment. No soft stays in young offender facilities, just places with hard, military style routines for both boys and girls, that will give them great incentive not to commit crime again. The youth of today act like this because their parents have little or no interaction with them . They leave them on their phones hidden away with no idea of what they are watching be it violence or porn. The parents are then scared of confronting them.
