Limpopo education authorities remain unsure whether they will be able to address all the outstanding issues before schools reopen next week.
The return of Grade 7 and 12 pupils was shifted from 1 June to 8 June in order to afford more time for some provinces to prepare for the reopening.
The province has more than 500 schools which have no water and proper sanitation, and the delivery of personal protective equipment for teachers and learners has not been completed. He also pointed out issues such as slow pace of appointing screeners at schools, cleaning and disinfecting of schools, and the lack of proper guidelines on managing teachers or learners presenting signs of Covid-19.
The Professional Educators Union’s Mosadi Sekwadi said the reopening of schools on the announced date was also hampered by lack of clarity on the proposed trimming of the curriculum.
