As COVID-19 continues to affect European nations at an increased rate, schools in the United Kingdom have been closed since March 2020. It has been estimated that the school closures have impacted 94% of the global population of students. For this story, I want to look into how remote learning is affecting students and faculty in the United Kingdom. What are the major issues faced and do they relate to ours? How is the government helping out the school system? I would interview students and teachers to understand what is happening and are the plans put in place working. In addition, I would like to report on the technological difficulties they are facing and how they working to fix it.
I also want to research what steps are they taking to keep everyone safe. I learned that T]he measures taken by the schools to prevent the spread range from region to region. Finally, what happens if the situation gets worse, are they prepared to handle this and what would the next steps be.
