Tes Podcast: The Tes Team Discuss Lord Adonis' Criticism Of Online Learning & Dfe Support For Teachers In The Coronavirus Crisis

Join the Tes editorial team (seen here in the days before social distancing rules) as we discuss the news of the week, including the Twitter storm caused by Lord Adonis with his letter to Ofsted stating that many schools were not providing adequate online learning support in the coronavirus lockdown.

Coronavirus: Will teachers get enough PPE?

We also talk about the latest Tes survey, which shows that around three-quarters of UK school staff believe personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed by all staff in schools and that social distancing is impossible.

And we discuss the concerns of the equalities watchdog that GCSE and A-level grading proposals, in response to the cancellation of this summer’s exams, “don’t go far enough” to ensure that particular groups of students will not be disadvantaged.
