To close all education sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UK Government (Department for Education) needs to close all education sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of today, 03 January 2021, there has been over 54.990 cases after the Christmas and New Year period, and getting students back into their education will make the spread for catch-able.
The reason why UK Government needs to do this is to safeguard the students either at school, college or university, and to let the students work from home until it is absolutely safe to do so, to reopen the education sectors. The virus is deadly and the virus will come into contact with students, and as schools, colleges and universities are in a Tier 4 restriction, its not appropriate to get the students back into their education grounds. UK Government needs to close all education sectors ASAP.
