The former prime minister insists decisions were made with children’s safety in mind.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologized for errors made during the country’s COVID-19 response but denied claims that his government failed to plan properly for school closures.
Johnson told an inquiry that officials acted in good faith under unprecedented circumstances, emphasizing that protecting children and educators remained a priority.
Critics, however, argue that the government’s delayed response caused unnecessary disruption to students nationwide.
