“There is too much pressure. We were told that we are only attending for this week and we will take a break and then return again. I am scared that I am not going to cope because we are getting too much work to do in a short time,” she said.“We don’t even know when we are writing. I am not ready to write. We don’t know what is happening, what we will be writing ... no-one is telling us anything. At school they also say they don’t know. They don’t tell us anything.
“I feel like teachers don’t understand. They are giving us too much work on the same day. One teacher will give you four homework assignments and tell you that they want it the following day, and there are also work from others. They are telling us that we are behind.” Ndlovu said she attended seven lessons on her first day and came back with nine homework assignments.Ndlovu said they were told that the school could accommodate two grades only.
“In January, our school asked for our parents' contact details but yesterday they didn’t communicate with us or our parents to inform them that grades 9 and 10 should not come to school. Instead, they let them come ... only to turn them back in the morning. They said they should come back next week,” she said.
