Eating in classrooms and no playtime during breaks will be the new normal at school, said a principal.
principal Livhuwani Ramano was expecting 132 grade 7 pupils to return to school on Monday.
“We have eight grade 7 teachers so we divided the number of pupils by eight so every class has a maximum of 16 pupils,” he said. When leaving the classroom to wash their hands, pupils must observe a 1m distance rule under staff supervision.Ramano said though the school had begun preparing for the return of grades R, 3 and 6 pupils, he believed they would require mobile classrooms and additional teachers.
