Final back to school in Scotland decision to be made today

The Scottish Government will make a final back to school decision today.

It's understood getting kids back into the classroom full-time remains the preferred option when schools reopen on August 11.

The Education Recovery Group has agreed guidance that can allow them to operate safely.

And it will form  key part of the decision making process for government ministers today.

However, pupils and parents will have to wait until tomorrow to find out whether they opt for a full-time return or the blended learning model of home and classroom learning.

Full details of the guidance will be published after Nicola Sturgeon's latest lockdown review tomorrow afternoon.

But education minister John Swinney said yesterday: "I believe at this point we should be confident that our schools can reopen safely and our children can return to learning with their peers and teachers in school."
