Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga indicated last week that all teachers were due to report for duty from Monday to prepare for Grade 7 and 12 pupils, who are scheduled to be the first group of pupils to be phased back into the classroom on June 1.
“Only former Model C schools can potentially be ready as they do not rely on the department, but use their own facilities and financial muscle to buy all personal protective equipment and disinfect their schools. “We warn the minister, MEC and other officials to stop this grandstanding and arrogance and listen to all stakeholders, because no one is refusing to go to work,” Themba said.
