The i paper – Thousands of children face homeschooling for weeks 

The i newspaper reports thousands of children are likely to face home-schooling for weeks after it emerged 104 school buildings will be closed because they are made from concrete prone to collapse. The paper says parents are “scrambling for childcare” as former Home Secretary Priti Patel told the paper “this is a big mess” and criticising the government for failing to act sooner.
