UK university reopenings risk Covid 'public health crisis', teaching union warns

Plans to reopen universities have been thrown into serious doubt as the UK’s largest academic union warns today that it is “too dangerous” for face-to-face teaching to resume, and calls on the government and vice-chancellors to prevent students returning to campuses this autumn.

Please don't go to school during a pandemic.

The Government doesn’t seem particularly concerned about spread at the moment. With returning to the workplace being pushed, schools reopening, restrictions further easing and uni’s reopening, makes me wonder whether we are seeing Herd Immunity Round 2!

Is it true that staff at ‘most’ Unis were on strike earlier this year? Nobody I know at the former polytechnics was on strike. My students were taught all year - face to face, then online.

I've still to hear a union say anything positive...ever.

Note to subs: UCU is not just a 'teaching union'

FFS. Give it a rest please.

Whether or not justified this falls squarely in the narrative of unions constantly putting obstacles in the way of return.

I'm scared that all the precautions we as a family have taken since march will be destroyed when my son goes to university in 3 weeks. New students are almost always ill in the first term without covid lurking. It's a disaster waiting to happen.Just hope it's not financial

Defund teachers unions🤙🏽
