London – With only three days left for the opening of schools, the government’s strange decision has worried teachers, students and parents. The government has decided to close 156 school buildings in England due to shortage of staff. With this, the children of these schools have to switch to online classes similar to the time of Covid.
The government took this decision urgently in the context of finding that the special type of concrete (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) used for building construction is weak. But the government does not specify which schools will have to be demolished. Schools Minister Nick Gibb says details will be announced in the coming days. The government has found that 50 schools out of 156 are in a very dangerous condition.
Strong public anger is rising against the government’s decision. The criticism of the opposition is that the decision was taken only three days before the opening of the school even though it has been two months since the school was closed. The opposition also criticized the secrecy of the list of schools. Parents also say local councils would have been able to find alternatives if the decision had been made before the holidays. Parents are furious that their children are again being pushed into online classes similar to the times of Covid. The situation where children study at home can also affect the work of parents.
