Over 300,000 pupils are expected to return to schools across the province, education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said on Thursday.
He said pupils and teachers would have their temperatures checked on a daily basis to determine if they will be allowed inside.
“If the screening questions indicates there are no risks and the temperature is below 38°C, the learner proceeds to enter the building.” While pupils often gathered in large groups during lunch time, Lesufi said breaks would be taken at different times and there would be designated areas for eating, including the classrooms. All classes are expected to have 20 pupils or less, with each pupil occupying his or her own table.
“Water deliveries procurement is done. Deliveries will be done 24 hours before school resumption date,” he said.
