Where is the government programme for an emergency refurbishment of schools + establishing Nightingale classrooms and outdoor learning facilities, to make education Covid-safe?
It's frankly unbelievable that after 3 lockdowns and 3 school holidays, it still hasn't happened.

Why hasn't the government provided funds to schools to help them install ventilation/heat exchanger systems, windows that open etc, or to set up classes in unused entertainment venues and other places?
When schools reopen, pupils will be shoved back into an unsafe environment.

What the hell does @GavinWilliamson do all day? Why hasn't this been at the top of his to-do list from day one of the pandemic? He has left schools to sort themselves out, without extra funding, while their budgets are already overstretched.
If schools remain infection hotspots, it'll take even longer to suppress the pandemic. We'll be stuck in a cycle of lockdown and relaxation that could go on all year. The spending required to sort this out is tiny by comparison to the costs of failing to do so.
