Academy of Ideas's video: Is it time to reopen our schools

This is a recording of an Academy of Ideas Education Forum debate on 5 May 2020, online via Zoom: http://academyofideas.org.uk/events/archive/is_it_time_to_reopen_our_schools When should schools reopen and what does this debate tell us about what we value most about schools? Is it their role as engines of social mobility, as safeguarders of vulnerable children, as an unofficial child-minding service, exams or something else? Is it really a big deal if children miss a few months at school? David Perks and Joanna Williams discuss.
