The Sacrifice of English Secondary Schools

English Secondary Schools opened this September. There had been little improvement in the ventilation of buildings. Pupils no longer had a requirement to wear face-masks and social distancing was limited. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) have looked at the reporting of Long Covid symptoms in students and staff with a previously confirmed Covid infection. The ONS found that almost 36% of staff and more than 12% of students reported having symptoms several weeks after their infection. Common symptoms of Long Covid include weakness and tiredness. Many of the teachers also reported being short of breath. Many of the Long Covid patients in Secondary Schools, opined that the condition was impairing their ability to work effectively. This certainly isn't going to facilitate any academic catch-up in Secondary Schools. The pupils and their teachers will also be 'bringing it all back home'.
