Basic education minister Angie Motshekga has pleaded with parents to “release” their children to return to school after concerns about attendance under lockdown level 1.

“This again increases the risk of them losing interest, and forgetting critical curriculum topics already covered at school. The difficulties in timetabling will be with us for the remainder of the year, as we continue to balance teaching and learning while saving lives.”She said provinces have put in place a whole range of measures to support pupils, but parents and communities also need to pay ball in showing support.

“This is an initiative designed to provide additional support to the matric class of 2020, as they prepare for exams. We thank all the partners involved in the initiative.”Teachers with comorbidities, who were granted concessions to work from home in levels 3 and 2, are expected to report for duty, said Motshekga.

“Health and safety measures remain in place and everybody is expected to comply, as we work to finish the work for the academic year.”She said the National School Nutrition Programme was one of the challenges the department had to deal with as a result of the forced closure of schools
