Coronavirus: Scott Morrison takes your questions in live Q&A with news.com.au

Most of Australia's coronavirus response has gone smoothly - but Scott Morrison says there's been a "real problem" with our handling of schools.

Most of Australia's coronavirus response has produced the desired results - but Scott Morrison says there's been a "real problem" with our handling of schools.

In an exclusive, live interview with news.com.au on Wednesday night, Mr Morrison answered Australians' questions about the ongoing pandemic. One of those questions was why we should risk reopening schools.

"It always has been the medical advice that children are far less susceptible to this," the Prime Minister said.

Mr Morrison spoke about his own children's experience trying to learn from home, saying it had proven particularly difficult for his younger daughter.

"It's been a lot harder for (younger children) with online learning. It hasn't worked. I mean, it's always best to have children learning in the classroom. That I don't think is disputed," he said.

"But for Kindergarten to Year 6, I think it's even harder for that to work online. So I'm looking forward to her particularly going back."

And he highlighted another problem created by keeping schools shut - that parents are being forced to act as teachers while also working from home.

"For those who have been working at home, and sort of overseeing their kids' learning at home, I think that's been a real problem. That's been hard on parents, and I don't think it's best for the kids' education."
