This has seen a sharp decline in teachers reporting for duty and learners attending schools as well as a shortage of personal protective equipment . The school has resorted to borrowing from neighbouring schools. Out of 27 teachers, only 15 go to work as they cannot afford petrol or transport fares.
Teaching at the Lenasia school has continued in accordance with the department's guidelines despite teachers not being compensated. A senior teacher at the school said he has been battling with accommodation because of the money freeze. PPE shortages have also become a problem. “The school only got 25 litres of sanitisers,10 soaps and 10 boxes of masks with each box containing 50 masks inside but it’s finished now and we have to go around asking for PPEs.”Another teacher said: “We don't know what we did wrong. We are suffering because of other people’s actions and it’s really painful.''
