this week are not confident that any effective teaching and learning will take place during this academic year, even if it is extended.
The KwaZulu-Natal teacher said there is a hurry to cover as much of the curriculum as possible and even the one-hour teaching periods seems not long enough. “When you do get an opportunity, you spend four hours in class. If one teacher is not at school you use their periods to do as much work as you can. Learners do lose concentration but we just want to tick a box that we have covered a certain area [of the curriculum].”
After President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announced that schools close for a month, the department of basic education said in a statement that schools should arrange for learners to get work to do work during the break.
