DOUBT has been expressed over whether students will comply with the planned staggered return to universities after the festive holidays.
A warning has also been given that campuses face a fresh outbreak of coronavirus because the planned return does not reflect the variation in university term dates.
Education Secretary John Swinney announced last week that the students’ return would be staggered over six weeks beginning on January 4.
“With some limited exceptions, undergraduate students will restart their studies at home at the normal beginning of term and should only return to campus and their term-time accommodation when asked to do so by their university,” he said.
