1. Analyze the following text on its cohesion and coherence.

Doctors have backed teachers' unions by saying Covid-19 infection rates

are too high for England's schools to reopen.

The British Medical Association said teachers and heads were "absolutely
right" to urge caution and prioritize testing to avoid a second spike. It comes
after teachers' unions met the government's scientific and medical advisers
to express concerns about the planned phased reopening from 1 June. The
NASUWT union said no school should reopen until it could show it was safe. England is the
only UK nation to set a date for schools to start to reopen. Education Secretary Gavin
Williamson has insisted schools would only open their doors more widely when the conditions
were right to do so, with the earliest date being 1 June. He said he had wanted to give head
teachers and parents several weeks to plan for the event.

The governments in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have stepped back from setting a firm
date. But since the prime minister announced there was to be a gradual lifting of lockdown
measures, plans for the phased reopening from the beginning of next month seem to have
hardened. After the meeting between the National Education Union and other teaching unions,
and the government's top scientific advisers, Mr Williamson said schools would have all the
"guidance and support they will need". However, teachers' unions say they still have
"unanswered questions" about how pupils can be invited back and managed safely.
