“Grade 10, grade 11 and grade 12 was just a huge catch-up year. Teachers are exhausted and if they are exhausted, I can imagine what the learners are feeling. “It is the learner that is less resilient that has issues of coping etc that is probably the greatest concern. The mental health of our children is not automatically okay because they are children.”Meanwhile, the biggest teacher union South African Democratic Teachers Union has called for the suspension of load shedding ahead of the start of the matric exams.
