Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has expressed concern that many learners have not returned to schools despite the resumption of learning with the department being unable to account for their whereabouts.

Motshekga on Thursday gave an update on the latest development within the schooling sector including plans for the upcoming matric examination, which are set to start from November 5.

“Currently we hardly see any schools being closed and reopened as we did before and this can be attributed to the adherence to the revised standard operations but also the national decline in Covid-19 cases,” Motshekga said. “This again increases the risk of them losing interest and forgetting critical curriculum topics already covered at school,” Motshekga said.
