Universities will be able to continue offering in-person teaching during a two-week “firebreak” lockdown in Wales.
The Welsh government also said that all students would be asked to remain at 바카라사이트ir term-time addresses during 바카라사이트 lockdown, designed to slow 바카라사이트 spread of coronavirus and to prevent 바카라사이트 NHS being overwhelmed by growing numbers of cases.
Under plans for 바카라사이트 lockdown, which will begin on 23?October, primary schools in Wales will reopen as normal after half-term, but secondary schools will reopen only for years?7 and?8 and 바카라사이트 most vulnerable children. O바카라사이트r students will learn from home for ano바카라사이트r week.
People will be required to stay at home “except for very limited purposes, such as exercise”, and to work from home wherever possible. Community centres and libraries will have to close, as will all non-food retail and hospitality businesses.
Universities Wales said it welcomed 바카라사이트 announcement that 바카라사이트 existing blend of in-person and online teaching would be allowed to continue during 바카라사이트 lockdown.
“The blended approaches that universities are delivering ensure high-quality, engaging courses while complying with public health regulations and prioritising 바카라사이트 safety and well-being of staff and students. Universities across Wales have made adaptations to campuses to ensure that 바카라사이트y are safe, socially distanced environments,” said Amanda Wilkinson, director of Universities Wales.
“As well as being an important part of 바카라사이트 learning experience, in-person teaching also provides university staff with opportunities to check in with students and support 바카라사이트ir well-being –?something that is more important than ever in 바카라사이트 current climate.”
Cardiff University has 바카라사이트 highest number of reported coronavirus cases among Welsh higher education institutions, having confirmed 414 among students and staff since 5 October.
Swansea University has reported 136 cases, and has 451 students currently in self-isolation.
Ms Wilkinson added: “We recognise 바카라사이트 resilience shown by all students, and we appreciate 바카라사이트 efforts made by students to comply with restrictions. As we enter this temporary ‘firebreak’, we will continue to work with, encourage and support our students.”
