On Monday, Mhlanga said Motshekga held several meetings with stakeholders in the basic education sector: “The purpose of the meetings was to consider the state of readiness for the reopening of schools.”
Lorraine Botha, the DA's provincial spokesperson on education, said a preliminary academic recovery plan should consist of five phases: “The first phase will involve adhering to Covid-19 crisis management requirements, implementing a teachers’ assistance and performance standard, along with time-tabling guidance. The final phase will entail teaching of a new adapted curriculum to all grades.”
“Before we can move forward, Motshekga needs to address core issues, including the transportation of learners to school, existing issues pertaining the overcrowding of classrooms and accommodating learners with special needs,” Botha added. According to Maluleke, personal protective equipment has not been procured for school administrators, teachers and support staff.
