The minister says there are eager teachers waiting to enter the system if others do not want to return to work
During a visit to Gauteng schools on Thursday, basic education minister Angie Motshekga said many schools had achieved the most difficult part of getting lessons back on track - curriculum management.
“They haven’t indicated that if all their health requirements have not been met they [will not come], so I don’t want to assume they won’t. I think they appreciate the importance of them coming to work. If they don’t come, I guess the rule will apply,” she said, referring to the “no work, no pay” policy.
