Health Minister Greg Hunt says it is expected some states “may take different views” on schools as the national cabinet prepares to meet to discuss teacher safety. Mr Hunt insisted schools remained safe for students and played down criticism of mixed messaging between the federal and state governments. “There’s very very little evidence of transfer from student to student amongst school children, but equally, and this is what national cabinet is considering to make sure there are the safeguards, and in particular the confidence for teachers and parents during drop off,” he told Sky News. “The safety of children is very well established and that’s just absolutely paramount. But we also want to make sure that there are the safeguards and the confidence for the teachers. “We also respect the fact that against those national guidelines, different states may take different views but where we can have kids learning in the best possible environment, we all think that that’s exactly the most desirable outcome.”
