Teachers' unions have expressed concern that Monday will be chaotic as more grades will be returning to school after a five-month long break due to the Covid_19 pandemic.
Expected to return to class on Monday will be learners in Grades R, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11 as well as learners attending Schools of Skill in years 1, 2 and 3.Grades 7 and 12 have already returned.
“We can expect that Monday will be a bit chaotic given how many children have to be screened and scanned and recordings taken about their health conditions.He said in KwaZulu-Natal, principals have been given an instruction the schools must get different grades on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. “They are also worried about sufficient teachers to make the timetable work because teachers have not been appointed yet .
“This means the most effective non-pharmaceutical interventions in the fight against the spread of the virus are denied and then exposing everyone to the virus,” he said.
