Grade seven and grade 12 pupils could go back to school on the first of June. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says the school calendar’s been adjusted to save the academic year.
She says the new proposal will see school admin staff return to work on Monday. Teachers will then follow on the 18th of May. Motshekga says schools need at least a month to prepare for the return of pupils. Motshekga says each province will have its comprehensive plan for the reopening of the schools.
She also urged parents to ensure that they continue paying school fees. We did take note of the concern regarding the issue of school fees and we did indicate from the start that school fees are payable.
For children who attend fee-paying schools, we request that parents please pay school fees because these funds are normally used to pay the salaries of your school governing body appointed teachers”, said Motshekga.
