Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Monday said that there “should be no need for remote or hybrid learning” given recent advances in vaccinations and treatment against the coronavirus.

Why it matters: Cardona’s remarks on CBS’ “Face the Nation” reflect the Biden administration’s trust in the current measures implemented nationwide to mitigate the risk of students contracting the virus.

Cardona’s position echoed his previous recommendation that all schools be in-person by September. However, this fall, the return to in-person schooling was accompanied by a spike in COVID cases among children.
