To many people – including parents, students and teachers – it is a proportionate measure in an extraordinary time.
The government’s decision to recommend that secondary school pupils temporarily wear masks in classrooms appears to have been widely accepted as a reasonable way of reducing risk while getting society moving in the middle of a global pandemic.
Parents, teenagers and school workers have all expressed support for the guidance. Tory governments and teaching unions rarely reach consensus on anything, but on this they seem to be of the same view: face coverings, though not ideal in education, can belt and brace the safety of classrooms. The World Health Organization has long recommended such action.
