This is according to Minister Angie Motshekga, who was responding to a Parliamentary question by DA MP Nomsa Marchesi, who had asked whether more teachers would be appointed across the country to teach the split classes of the different grades during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Schools will use various models to accommodate learners; including alternate times, days, weeks’ attendance, depending on the context of a particular school,” Motshekga said. “Where educators will be required to work additional hours, it will be within reasonable limits, also taking into account that all extra-curricular activities have been suspended,” she said.
Meanwhile, Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu said her department was working with civil society, private and international organisations such as Unicef and the Nelson Mandela Foundation to prepare readiness for reopening of schools
