The department of basic education has released a revised calendar for the 2020 school year, which will see schools reopening on August 24.
In a statement released on Saturday, the department said that it had been huddled in consultations with stakeholders after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced two weeks ago that schools would be closed for a month.
“The department considered the impact of the decision on the current calendar. The policy process to amend the school calendar commenced considering the urgency of the matter as necessitated by the prevalent Covid-19 environment,” the statement reads. “The school year will be completed on December 15 for grades R to 11 ... that it is not carried over to the first quarter of 2021.”
