WHEN the Covid-19 lockdown started in Scotland, the Education Recovery Group — which brought together the Scottish government, local authorities, school staff unions, parents’ groups and educational bodies — was set up.
The group was to look at the delivery of education under the necessary constraints of the Covid-19 response and to provide advice on any proposed changes in Scottish education strategy.
During lockdown Scottish schools continued to function for the children of key workers and for vulnerable children. The reduced numbers allowed this to happen safely and within social distancing and other mitigating measures.
