.@billwatkin: 'The key to a successful return from this date is flexibility. Opening to all students at the same time presents a range of very significant logistical challenges, not least the requirement to test all students and staff.' https://t.co/OLapBMdaOM

"The key to a successful return from March 8th is flexibility...college leaders must have the autonomy to re-open in a way that reflects their different local circumstances and student populations”. Read our response to colleges re-opening: https://t.co/bpMxhZhObu

Proud to have supported this important statement - we want students back on site ASAP, but it's not clear that a mass return of all age groups at once on the 8th is sensible or safe. https://t.co/yUCasLsBht

And we're also hosting a piece from @miss_mcinerney about the possibility that we will see a 'K-shaped' recovery from lockdown, with educational inequality increasing. What should politicians be thinking about to redress it? https://t.co/hkCm9eqmhx

Essential reading for anyone not yet convinced of the need to #ProtectAGQs - the government's proposals will cut off opportunities for BAME students and those from 'left-behind' areas. https://t.co/6lwhSjgBM4

While we wait for clarity on grades this year, sixth forms have to get on with admitting Year 11s as normal - without the usual information on academic performance. On the blog today, Michael Fitzsimons of @tah6thform shares his thoughts on how to proceed: https://t.co/IgVRKZPoBU

And in the meantime, teachers continue to face the tough task of engaging students in online learning. While it can feel like an uphill struggle, @BeckyFrancis7 says the research so far gives us reasons for optimism: https://t.co/aOF0vpPHVW

With exams cancelled, @ofqual and @educationgovuk have to decide on an alternative way to award A levels, GCSEs, and BTECs to students. What principles should they bear in mind? Our chief exec Bill explains on the blog: https://t.co/AFpqMynnwd

.@drcatheriner1 makes an important point here: while students from "left behind" areas are at a disadvantage, "a big part of improving attainment, alongside great teaching, is simply demystifying university as a concept." The result? Half of her students @EastNorfolk go to uni. https://t.co/ZPT8Pf6nkq
