Covid has provided the opportunity to rethink how learning takes place and the purpose of schooling. It has highlighted that one of the main reasons for children to be in school is that it frees up parents to work. It has highlighted that schools provide childcare allowing the economy to prosper but are schools the best way for that to be provided.
