“School staff and WCED officials have been working around the clock to ensure that all plans are in place to receive those learners on time. “The week will be used primarily for the orientation of learners into the new Covid-19 safety and learning environment. There are also outstanding issues that need to be finalised over the coming week – including confirming a position on home-schooling options – but these will not prevent the majority of our Grade 7s and 12s from returning,” she said.
Naptosa executive director Basil Manuel said last night that schools with all the personal protective equipment for staff may continue planning and preparing, but the schooling system was not ready for learners. “This now complicated the scheduling of the return of the Grade 7 learners on Monday, June 1. The entire school building will be decontaminated at the earliest.
