Not for now, but moving forward.
If we've learned nothing else over the last few weeks it's that schools are relied on for childcare.
We also know that whilst good quality teaching is important, a lot of what schools deliver is not "education" but pastoral care, personal development, childcare...
An experienced teacher costs a school about £55k, not what they are paid, what they cost.
An experienced TA about £20K. A sports coach about £15 per hour. A school counsellor c. £30k.
The Education budget is over £100bn (c. 6% of GDP) and not enough to deliver everything that's required in the current format. In a perfect world you'd throw more money at it, but how is that sustainable, especially now?
If we're to provide top quality education and the childcare families need, at a price the country can afford, change is needed. We might not like that, but it is.
Looking at primary schools first, how about teachers deliver the academic work and TAs, sports/drama coaches, professional mentors, counsellors etc fill the rest of the time? You'd need half (?) as many teachers and the "other" sessions could be provided by experts in their field, improving quality at a lower cost.
You also solve the teacher recruitment crisis.
Obviously it couldn't happen overnight and there would be challenges to overcome but as a starting point?
