The Prime Minister said “it will not be possible to reopen schools after the February half term,” with the hope to bring pupils back from March 8.

Boris Johnson also told MPs that UK nationals and residents returning from “red list” countries will be placed in a 10-day quarantine in government-secured accommodation, such as hotels.

He explained in the House of Commons on Wednesday: “Our aim will be to start a gradual phased approach towards easing the restrictions in a sustainable way guided by the principles we’ve observed throughout the pandemic, beginning with the most important principle of all that reopening schools must be a national priority.”

He added: “It will not be possible to reopen schools after the February half term.”

“I can confirm that the government will prolong arrangements for providing free school meals for those eligible children not in school, including food parcels and the national voucher scheme, until they returned to the classroom.”

This comes after COVID-19 deaths surpassed 100,000 on Tuesday.

Mr Johnson also outlined new measures for travellers to the UK.

He said: “I can announce that we will require all such arrivals who cannot be refused entry to isolate in government provided accommodation, such as hotels for 10 days without exception, they will be met at the airport and transported directly into quarantine. The Department of Health Care is working to establish facilities as quickly as possible.”

“We will not persist for a day longer than is necessary, but nor can we relax, too soon. Because if we do, we run the risk of our NHS coming under still greater pressure compelling us to reimpose every restriction and sustain those restrictions for longer.”

“We remain in a perilous situation with more than 37,000 patients now in hospital with COVID, almost double the peak of the first wave.”

Travellers will have to pay to isolate in a monitored hotel, with COVID tests during their stay, according to Sky News.

Study Group’s International Study Centre at the University of Lincoln will close this summer, with formal redundancy proceedings understood to have begun.

Study Group is an external provider who specialises in pre-degree and pre-masters programmes to support students coming to the UK to study.

Brighton-based Study Group, has been in partnership with the university since 2010, but the contract is ending and is not being renewed so the centre will close on August 31, 2021.

The option was given by the university, who are working on offering alternative provision, to go through a tendering process and this was not taken up by Study Group.

It is understood that formal redundancy proceedings will affect around 15 to 20 Study Group employees.

However, Study Group did not provide an answer when questioned about the number of employees or the redundancy process. Instead, it said it is working with staff directly to discuss their roles and next steps.

The centre currently teaches the international year one programmes in business and management, engineering, computer science and media. There is also teaching for international foundation years.

The closure will mean the Lincoln ISC’s last student intake was in January 2021 and any due to start in September will be offered alternative provision.

The Lincoln centre will close only once current students have completed their pathway programme by August 31.

A spokesperson for Study Group said: “We appreciate that this news may be unsettling to our current cohort of international students studying at the Lincoln ISC.

“However, we would like to take this opportunity to emphasise that this news will have no impact on current students studying at the Lincoln ISC.

“We will continue to deliver our pathway programmes at the Lincoln ISC in the same way, supporting current students to achieve their education goals and progress to the university programme of their choice at the University of Lincoln.

“Study Group is working with staff directly to discuss their roles and next steps considering the Lincoln ISC closure. We would like to thank our staff for their exceptional commitment and unwavering professionalism and support at this time.”

A University of Lincoln spokesperson said: “The university is planning to develop its own internal suite of preparatory programmes to enable it to be more flexible to the needs of international students and to manage the quality of teaching and learning.”
