The SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) has called on the departments of basic eduction and higher education to provide temperature scanners to screen pupils and students when schools and tertiary institutions reopen.
Sadtu urged the departments to comply with a host of minimum requirements at least two weeks before the institutions reopen.
“The departments should ensure that learning institutions have enough soap, disinfectants and sanitisers and that hygiene is part of the curriculum where it should be the first thing to be practised before any daily learning activity can take place.”Sadtu said that the departments should hire more staff to clean and sanitise the classrooms, workshops and offices as frequently as possible.
“The delivery of these must be guaranteed before any reopening of learning institutions can be effected.”
