The department of basic education has advised teachers not to work at home in their pyjamas.

"Get fully dressed - a day in your pyjamas is likely to be a lot less productive as your brain will keep trying to put you in a non-work mode," says a recent 65-page handbook that was developed by the department.

Though a uniform code of conduct hasn't been enforced for pupils, many South African schools have told them to dress"appropriately" for live-streamed lessons.Other suggestions include setting times to take meal breaks, switching off their electronic devices and stepping away from their work stations at designated times, informing their families about their work routine, and avoiding distracting personal media tools.

"I think we can agree that, if you haven't changed out of clothes used for sleeping in the privacy of your bedroom at night, you are probably not in work or learning mode," said Montjane.
