Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga was expected to give clarity on when schools would reopen at a briefing on Thursday after they were closed to halt the spread of Covid-19. This briefing was later postponed to Monday. The Sunday Times wrote that the proposal stated that under Level 3, the school timetable could be rearranged to “accommodate different grades attending school on alternate days as well as platooning/shift arrangements to comply with social distancing”.
The CEO of the Governing Body Foundation Anthea Cereseto previously told News24 that only two provinces – Gauteng and the Western Cape – had indicated during a Council of Education Ministers meeting that they were prepared to reopen their doors. She said this was partly due to existing problems within the provinces.
Before briefing the media on Monday, Motshekga is expected to convene a special meeting of the CEM to consider progress made towards the reopening of schools.
