Tes News Podcast: Coronavirus Tests For Schools, & Pupils Wanting To Be Teachers

Join the Tes news team as we discuss how a fifth of schools have reported at least one Covid-19 case since the start of term.

But there are also many schools that can’t find out about suspected infections - as heads tell a Tes survey that lack of testing makes it hard to stay open.

We also discuss other results of the survey, which reveals teachers “dread” the prospect of having to teach remotely, should schools be forced to close again.

And we talk about the rebel schools going against Department for Education guidance by using a rota system.

We finish on a lighter note with a story about how one in eight pupils aspires to be a teacher when they are older.
