Secondary schools want students to get on-site lessons once a week

VO-Raad, the council for secondary schools, wants students to get on-site education at least once a week from March 1. Health Minister Hugo de Jonge promised to give an update on when secondary schools can reopen at the next coronavirus press conference on Tuesday. The secondary schools' council therefore wants the situation to return to that of before the summer holidays last week, when kids were allowed to go to school on average one day a week and follow distance learning on the other days. "The socio-emotional and mental damage of the corona measures and lockdown is so great for young people that it is not justified from a development perspective to keep secondary schools closed any longer," she said.
