Guest : Bongekile Macupe | Education Reporter at Mail & Guardian |
The proposed date for grades 7 & 12 to return to school is 1 June. But the final decision
will be determined by a number of factors, Minister of Basic Education, Angie
Motshekga said during a live briefing she led alongside Minister of Higher Education
and Training, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande on the revised school
calendar.
On 4 May, the Ministry, DG and DDGs, about 50 people, will return to the office to open
the sector to prepare for the reopening of schools.
After extensive meetings, the COVID-19 Learner Support programme was created aimed
at limiting the impact of the lockdown to the school calendar. The initiative is part of
the broader efforts to prevent a total loss of school year.
