The British government has announced a £700 million ($989 million) package to help pupils in England catch up on lost learning during the CCP virus pandemic, including provisions for secondary schools to offer students face-to-face lessons during the summer holidays.

Schools in England were closed for four months last year during the first CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus lockdown, and have been closed again from the beginning of this year. Pupils will not return to school until March 8 under the government’s COVID-19 lockdown exit plan.
