Basic education minister Angie Motshekga told teachers' unions and the three major governing body associations on Saturday afternoon that school readiness was at 94%.
However, some schools will remain closed because they lack water and proper sanitation.
According to the source, all the presentations pointed to “areas that still need a little bit of work”. National Education Collaboration Trust CEO Godwin Khosa, who heads the consortium tasked with monitoring the delivery of Covid-19 essentials to schools, also delivered a report. Limpopo education department spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene said reports indicated that the 3,744 schools were ready to receive pupils on Monday.
