De Bruyn said the reason the DBE did this was because they knew social distancing would not be possible when schools were back at full capacity.
She added that they had asked their schools to write to the head of department if they would not be able to return to full daily attendance, as well as the reasons for that. The deadline to do so was extended to July 23, and those applications to continue with rotational timetabling would be processed this week.
Montjane said Isasa member schools would be returning to in-person instruction from today. However, some schools, depending on the level of disease burden, may elect to continue with remote teaching and learning.
