Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona has said he’d “like to think that, in many places” in the United States, schools can re-open for in-person education five days a week this spring.
The comments were in response to a question from CNN host Jake Tapper about when the secretary thinks school can return full time. “As soon as possible,” Cardona said.
