The NSW Teachers Federation has suggested a staged return to school | JordsBaker
The NSW Teachers Federation has suggested a staged return to school once health authorities and governments start lifting social distancing restrictions, beginning with year 12 and kindergarten.
NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said the government will be using the school holiday period to consider its options for term two and beyond. Before they began holidays on Thursday afternoon, NSW schools were not closed but were delivering remote learning to everyone, and parents were encouraged to keep their children at home. About 94 per cent of families did so. By this week, two thirds of the public school teaching workforce were working from home.
