LONDON - British universities should scrap plans to reopen next month to prevent travelling students from fuelling the country's coronavirus pandemic, a union said, calling for courses to be taught online.
Mr Johnson has been calling on Britons to return to something more akin to normality after the coronavirus lockdown, calling on workers to return to offices to help the economy recover from a 20 per cent contraction in the April-June period. "Moving a million plus students around the country is a recipe for disaster and risks leaving ill-prepared universities as the care homes of a second wave," UCU general secretary Jo Grady said in a statement.
