Fewer pupils at school, but teaching is unaffected: Gauteng on stayaway: An 'average pupil attendance' has been noted at some schools, says the Gauteng education department.

Image:Schooling in Gauteng is proceeding uninterrupted on Wednesday amid the planned national shutdown by labour unions, says the education department.

“We have received positive reports from our districts across the province stating that learning and teaching has not been disrupted at schools. However, our districts have communicated a challenge of average learner attendance in some schools.” The department urged parents and guardians to ensure their children attend classes on all schooling days.

“We are preparing to facilitate preliminary examinations for matriculants and, as such, we appeal that schools must not be disrupted during this process. As it stands, we have limited teaching days before learners write their final examinations,” said education MEC Panyaza Lesufi.
