NEU currently holding a mass zoom meeting. Forty thousand in attendance!!!! Surely, these are the 'Experts', and what they decide should be what happens.
There were 400,000 NEU members present in total, apparently the biggest Union meeting ever. Please can I be clear that no teacher is refusing to teach - all but the CEV are willing to support vulnerable children and the children of key workers, and all are preparing to teach remotely. But there’s a very widespread consensus that having children in classrooms, dining halls and other school facilities it isn’t safe for our communities or for school staff. SAGE and other reliable sources have said that schools need to close to reduce transmission of the virus.
