It has given up on its plan to get all children back to primary school in England by the summer.
Remember most schools have stayed open in some fashion, providing education to key workers' kids and providing provision for the most vulnerable.
And then, like it or not, education is intensely political too, with the sometimes competing influences of national government, local government and the teaching unions. However the practicalities can be explained away, and it is true that the government always said the return was an ambition not a firm plan, the retreat from the full return looks messy and gives the impression to millions of families that Downing Street didn't deliver what they promised.
