The media briefing by the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, which was scheduled for this evening at 6pm, has now been rescheduled “due to the minister being engaged in further consultations on the readiness for the reopening of schools”, her department has advised.
The South African Human Rights Commission said on Thursday that it had written to Motshekga, to recommend that she reconsider the 1 June date. One SA Movement founder and former DA leader Mmusi Maimane alsoBoth he and the SAHRC said on Saturday that they would go to court to stop the reopening, if necessary.
“It is thus important that necessary minimum conditions that need to be met for the re-opening of schools, such as access to adequate clean water and sanitation, social distancing, the availability of personal protective equipment, training and the general sanitisation of schools, are met,” it said. “Some even reported that the necessary training was still outstanding. Other observations made during monitoring in provinces are that the levels of readiness for many rural schools are significantly low, so the monitoring continues,” the commission added.
“The various teachers’ unions have urged us that the conditions necessary for the proposed opening of schools for Grade 7 and 12 learners, announced by yourselves, have not yet been met. They said that they based this conclusion upon their own observations on the ground.
