DA goes to court for the return of pupils to full-time classes | Citypress

Currently, some schools are still using rotational timetabling, otherwise they cannot adhere to the Covid-19 social distancing requirements because of the large number of pupils. This means that, in some instances, pupils only attend school once a week.

Part B of the application – which the DA says can be heard at a later stage – should review the various regulations and directions that the DA says has made it impossible for primary school pupils to attend school normally. He argues that not allowing pupils to return to school full-time is a violation of their rights and that “allowing children to return to school will not significantly, or at all, increase the risk of spreading Covid-19. There are other ways to prevent the spread of Covid-19, without stopping children from learning. The ongoing and irreversible violation of children’s rights is disproportionate to achieve any possible limitation of the spread of Covid-19.

“Both unjustifiably limit the rights to basic education, a child’s best interest, and equality. They deny children half the time they would otherwise have at school.” In the papers, he says the social distancing rule is “plainly irrational”. He also questions why the regulations allow for one metre apart in primary schools but have kept the one and a half metres apart in high schools. “There is simply no reason,” he concludes.

This doesn't mean anything, all they doing is putting lipstick on a pig. Our educational system is completely useless and failing...

The real government has spoken 😅😂🤯

I agree with them taverns are full and operating everyday without following covid- 19 protocols.

Street trading maximized yet , or are they still deciding there in Constantia ?

I fully support this move, I think as much as Covid19 is real and hamrful' it has rather been blown out of proportion and grossly exaggerated... my nephew goes to school twice a week... unacceptable really! DBE_SA EducationGP1 Lesufi

Agreed , we party every weekend in taverns and restaurants in full capacity , even taxis load full capacity .... no reason why schools can't be full time , even stadiums well ventilated as they are should be open to full capacity

Fritz scandal casts another shadow over DA in the Western CapeFritz scandal casts another shadow over DA in the Western Cape - Good party sees political advantage after the suspension of a ‘low-profile’ figure in local government If the man is guilty how can it cast a shadow on the party? If anything it shows good governance to get the facts and seek justice. Do you prefer the ANC way of managing? Is that the same Good Party whose members chained themselves to subvert the Joburg council meeting? Petty politics if ever. SA is a real funny place. Had he not been relieved of his duties, the party would have been vilified. There is a party where people are still sitting hot in their seats despite scandals with no shame. Very funny indeed
