“Independent and public ordinary schools will open even in the metropolitan areas. Every school must adhere to and observe the health and safety protocols that will be put in place. We will start with Grades 7 and 12 and small schools. The other grades will follow in due course,” Motshekga said.
She said they were also working with the department of transport to ensure that safety protocols were maintained for scholar transport. Pupils, teachers and support staff will also receive orientation and training at the start of the school, commencing with Grade 7s and 12s. “We have been working closely with other departments in the social cluster. In addition to these, the basic education sector has psychologists and social workers who had prior training on counselling and they will be able to use their skills to support schools. We are mindful of the needs of pupils with disabilities. The department of basic education is working with provinces to ensure that special schools are adequately provided for in all the plans we have put together,” she added.
Concerning special schools for children with disabilities, Motshekga said, during the consultation with social partners it became clear that her department needed a different approach.
