Prime Minister Scott Morrison has thanked Australian teachers as he calls on them to keep classrooms operating with students preparing to start term two.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has taken to social media to ask the nation's teachers to keep classrooms open, especially for the children of essential workers who cannot be effectively homeschooled.
"We will lose many things in the course of fighting this virus. One thing that I know teachers are united on, with their parents, is we do not want one of those things to be the loss of a child's education, giving up a whole year of their learning."He thanked teachers for their efforts to keep classes going, in many cases online, while the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
"Quite rightly, state and non-government education authorities are working on how to support and protect those teachers who continue with classroom learning, or having other arrangements in place for them."
