Rules on face masks and other protective equipment differ: secondary students in England need only wear face masks in communal spaces if lockdowns are imposed in their areas. In Scotland, they will be compulsory when moving about school.Students aged over 11 years must wear face masks at all times, including indoors. Schools must limit the mixing of class groups, and ventilate and disinfect classrooms.

Classes or year groups must keep to different parts of the school during breaks. Doors and windows are kept open as much as possible. Most teachers have returned to school, though campaigners are pushing for more protection for them. Some online lessons continue in special circumstances.Greek authorities have extended the reopening of schools by a week to Sept. 14, due to a surge in COVID-19 infections.

Some secondary schools with larger class sizes say they will use a mix of distance learning and on-site teaching to prevent overcrowding. The government has agreed to provide more funds to increase public transport to allow for safe travel to schools. Online learning is no longer an option. Classmates stick together and do not mix at school with members of other cohorts. During breaks, each class is assigned a different area of the playground. Break times are also staggered. Children with symptoms must stay home and be tested for COVID infection. In kindergartens, children can attend even if they have a sniffle but must stay home if symptoms are more serious.Face masks are not compulsory in class.

Yeah, cuz this will help. Illusion of safety..

I see no 1,5-2 m distance. We will see how long it will take, before they get closed again.

Not Europeans.

LOOK, every single child has his.her NOSE COVERED!

WHAT MINDLESS GARBAGE THESE LEADERS ARE, TORTURING KIDS LIKE THIS OVER NOTHING.

Fantastic!

22 schools closed in France in the same week they were opened. We need to find alternatives.

Big mistake !

Child abuse.

So so dumb

you guys love reporting on the degradation of our children

Nothing normal about it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, believed to be linked to CV19, damages the heart to such an extent that some children will need lifelong monitoring & interventions, said the author of a review published Sept. 4 in The Lancet.”

We're scaring the hell out of our children for the flu. Just so stupid

42 scientific arguments against masks

terrible...just not safe enough to send kids out to schools just yet all over Europe and the UK

Poor kids. Fancy spending your childhood with a face nappy on your face.

That´s child abuse.

So ridiculous with these masks. Poor kids.

Why haven't local governments around the world not purchased the Russian pathogen detector machine?

to disgrace our beloved prophet is not freedom of speech. Western europe is the center of spreading islamophobia. A couple of strict steps against islamophobia should be taken by the Muslim ummah. ShameOnCharlieHebdo

PaakkinenReeta Not across Europe. In Finland schools opened with no face masks, with no safety measures. According to THL - national health authority - virus does not spread among acquintaces and children can't transmit the virus.

I hope this works for them...

Who really care of Kids? In 3 month we now if those opening concept will work ore the world is super infected .... !

Please don't release balloons into the air 🙏

It is heartbreaking to see children masked and distanced when it’s all a lie.

Meanwhile SpeakerPelosi is getting her hair and nails done with NO muzzle on COVID19

Hard to trust gov't planning when they still permit failed algorithm use on students. 200,000+ State School Students' GCSEs lowered by Ofqual algorithm. ASCL standardised up to 4188 schools’ CAGs & FFTdatalab up to 1900. Grade each students' merit!

This one image tells me four or five ways in which America’s school systems are fucked. Look at that class size.
