Lessons available - rugby schooling, education fail

I'm a rugby fan through and through, and an English rugby fan to the core (despite Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Ulster & various other ancestral claims)...let's go with British? But I'd really like to still be European (but not French).

Anyway, I was watching this https://youtu.be/_t012MeQFqw about England's preparations for the upcoming Six Nations (which I'm really excited about), when it struck me watching the team doctor, Dr. Richard Tingay....

Why the hell isn't this level of care, prevention, testing, tracing, preparation, training, awareness, glorification & celebration given to our teachers globally? I mean, there are about 40 players in the England squad, plus staff. That would equal your average class load at a school or uni - anywhere. Where's the priority?

Something very peverse is afoot. NOT blaming rugby AT ALL - rather, the fact that this kind of vital (and available/deliverable) attention to detail/data is totally AWOL in education. Imagine teachers swabbed daily with results same day? Etcetera and on.

Thoughts?
