Basic education minister Angie Motshekga on Wednesday said the sector had lost at least 50% of the curriculum because of rotational learning due to the intermittent closure of schools over the past two years. Motshekga was speaking at the department’s lekgotla, which discussed the effects of the pandemic.

“The result is that children of rich parents are getting full basic education while children of poor parents get half an education. Poor learners are also less likely to ameliorate the loss of physical schooling,” Steenhuisen says.

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
