Parents should not be worried about their school-aged children missing out on some study amid the coronavirus crisis, says the head of a teachers' union.
Queensland Teachers Union president Kevin Bates suggests Mr Morrison should keep out of the schooling debate after saying the education of children"hangs in the balance" on Wednesday.
He also says young people aren't expected to miss out on schooling because teachers are well prepared to deliver classes in a variety of ways. "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."Donald Trump halts funding to World Health Organization over handling of coronavirus outbreak
