Sigh Another Day: managing the Covid-19 crisis from the kitchen table

Anthony’s daily balcony selfie and lockdown count is one of the few fixed points in an uncertain world, but the consensus is they would have been more amusing with a gradually developing Dumbledore-style lockdown beard. This critical information has of course been fed back by helpful colleagues. On a more serious note, I remember being patched in via Teams to one of these early meetings and the erratic tech plus the gravity of the horrendous situation hanging over all of us. Everyone should take a moment to recognise quite how far we have all come in the sector since February. It’s been tough, but we’ve achieved incredible things, when you think a year ago our main worries were things like how to hold traditional exams in exhibition centres. Let’s hope we are able to hang onto some of the more positive benefits of the changes moving forwards.
