SA failed its pupils during pandemic – UN report via TheCitizen_News
South Africa is among 40% of the world’s developing countries which failed vulnerable pupils during the Covid-19 pandemic.
One of the highlighted issues was the heightened inequality which emerged from the pandemic, which governments were still grappling with. The report pointed out that Education Minister Angie Motshekga failed on a number of promises and needs for pupils during the lockdown. Lack of certain resources blocked many pupils from accessing e-learning services, leaving thousands at risk of not completing the school year.
