This comes as the Cabinet’s social cluster has apparently expressed its reservations regarding the Department of Basic Education’s readiness to resume the school calender in phases.
“We should not compromise lives. Life is more important than the academic year. We understand that as the department,” she said. Mweli stated that they would work with the Department of Transport to ensure buses for the scholar transport were sanitised, that hands were sanitised on entering a bus and manage distance between learners in a bus, among other measures.
Mweli said they would provide two sets of cloth masks to learners and there would also be thermometers to take the temperature of learners and teachers every day.
You set the dates to resume school while stats are soaring high....are you normal ? Have you found the vaccine ? Have you put adequate safety measures in place. This is absolutely naïve !
Scools are not ready. Teachers are terrified. Children are being placed 1st in line of C-19 By goverment. Parents/grandparents are not working. 😭 crying 🤮🤢🤧ill children 😷are something they dont care for, look how we grownups struggel with it.
I think parliament should be the first mass gathering institution to open before any other - I’ll listen to the radio 📻 for the answer
