As Ramaphosa pointed out, it was also the UN Global Day of Parents, honouring the commitment of parents and caregivers to the well-being of children.
“Now, in the last few days, several of these stakeholders – including teachers and parents – have expressed concern about the state of readiness in many schools. We have heard them, we welcome their contributions and are taking steps to address their concerns as well as proposals,” he said.He said it was understandable that many parents and caregivers had mixed emotions about the reopening of schools.
“Parents want reassurance that the necessary precautions should be in place to adequately protect learners. The safety of our youngest citizens from a health and physical perspective is not negotiable. It is our foremost priority.” “We are continuing with the process of delivering personal protective equipment and ensuring the availability of water and sanitation services. Learning, once it commences, will take place under strict conditions with a correctly limited number of learners and students,” he said.
