LABOUR has humiliatingly slapped down union demands to put kids in face masks when schools return in September.2But Labour’s education chief Kate Green hit out at the call, saying it would harm kids’ learning.Ms Green said she understood some parents and teachers would be “anxious” at the prospect of reopening schools.
“And of course masks do get in the way of some of the communication between teachers and their students. But hardline unions are now demanding teachers and kids wear masks in class, like they do in shops and on trains.He said there is a “strong argument that face masks should also be made compulsory for children when they return to secondary schools in September”.
