Students would return to school for one day a week under a plan to gradually resume lessons
Students would initially go to school for one day a week under a plan to gradually stage their return to the classroom as premier Gladys Berejiklian pushes for a return to face-to-face teaching.
The model is unlikely to be backed by the NSW Teachers Federation, which has been pushing for year 12 and kindergarten to return first. But it has the support of influential education researcher John Hattie, who says any school is better than none. Some have new, open-plan classrooms, while others have small, traditional rooms and desks. The strategy may also differ between areas with no COVID-19 cases, and areas that have been identified as hotspots.
