JOHANNESBURG - The Gauteng Education Department says it will be engaging authorities from Grayston Preparatory School on its decision to close the school on Monday due toThe department says no school has the authority to make such a decision without seeking guidance from them.READ:
Department spokesperson Steve Mabona said they are already in contact with the school on the way forward.Mabona cautioned principals and educators not to unilaterally decide to close schools and must work through the Education Department and the Department of Health.
mheidtman If we reach at a stage of start closing institutions and public places then God help us!
They let everyone go home! If the teacher is positive then some of the students may be too and they went back to their families.. This is way far from over
Those kids and their relatives must also be tested.
I don't think the principal was wrong in his/her actions to close the school. The school should and will be opened again once the air is cleared. Imagine waiting the response of department of education on whether to close it, and potentially pupils and teachers getting infected.
Which school is that?
Yes hygiene can help but it’s not all the people that afford that, so what about telling us that they provides us masks or stabilization of areas where people gathers. More adverts on this of what to do will help. With knowledge we can reduce the panic and the exposure
Good Call, graystonprep Get your head screwed in straight EducationGP, better safe than the alternative.
That’s bold decision by the school,we need more news about the precautions that Dep. of health is planning to do to our community especially in schools,taxi ranks clinics malls and in churches right now because the reality is that this cases will increase. We just want to know
How can they allow people from China and Italy to still come to SA? These people have a nerve of going to other Countries and refuse to be isolated..
Just Imagine,the school acted instead of saying 'We are going' like them until things get out of hands,look now this Corona is getting out of hands but they aren't acting bcos they are waiting for it to be completely out of hands..
So EducationGP so concerned about Grayston Prep taking a decision to close the school due to threat of coronavirus without consulting them than it is about the actual threat. Sit down STEVE MABONA. You have your priorities all wrong.
