The draft plan, which contains the basic education department logo and the heading ‘Phasing in Approach’, indicates pupils in grades 12 and 7 could return soon.
In a written response to journalists’ questions, the education ministry said it was not in a position to elaborate because plans were still being ironed out. Colditz said the federation was part of engagements with senior officials from the department and agreed with the phased-in approach. Executive director of the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of South Africa , Basil Manuel, said the organisation supported the draft plan but was concerned about the date lapses of the different grades.
He added that it did not believe Grade 1s should be the last to return because they were in the foundation phase of learning to read and write.
