Urgent need to vaccinate teachers and education staff, says NASUWT

Commenting on the report released today by the Education Policy Institute, NASUWT General Secretary Dr Patrick Roach said:

“This latest report adds further evidence supporting the need for much stronger measures to be introduced to protect teachers from covid transmission.

“It also confirms that in order to ensure that schools open safely, there is an urgent need for ministers to give priority to the vaccines to teachers and other education staff.

“In his press conference today, we urge the Prime Minister to commit to a timescale for when this will happen.”
