Boris Johnson confirmed that the government will press ahead with the phased reopening of schools from 1 June. ‘The education of children is crucial for their welfare, for their long-term future and for social justice,’ he said. The PM added that he intends for secondary schools to provide ‘some contact’ for year 10 and year 12 students from 15 June to help them to prepare for exams next year – with up to a quarter of these students in at any point.
