Schools are ready for pupils’ full-time return to classrooms from Monday, according to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga.
At a briefing on Sunday, Motshekga said children at primary, secondary and special schools would resume full-time attendance. She added that the scrapping of the rotational timetable, which was implemented due to the Covid-19 pandemic, had been gazetted.
The move comes after a Cabinet decision at the end of January to end rotational learning with immediate effect, and to remove social distancing measures.
Motshekga added that most primary schools had already returned to full attendance, and that mainly high schools relied on rotational timetabling before the Cabinet announcement.
She said that the Department of Basic Education had consultations with education organisations over the last week about various concerns around school infrastructure needs.
