Most education department officials at the head office in Pretoria and at provincial education department offices have not yet returned to work.
In a circular dated May 3 titled “postponement of reopening of offices”, the Gauteng education department’s superintendent-general Edward Mosuwe said all staff based at its head office in Johannesburg and in districts “with the exception of senior managers and essential-service workers” should not report for duty.
Mosuwe said the reopening of the Gauteng schooling system “needs a properly planned process, which includes the readiness of all facilities in terms of decontamination, personal protective equipment and reorientation”. Mosuwe said the process of acquiring PPE was at an advanced stage and the disinfection of all buildings “has commenced in earnest”.
