A Durban father filed an urgent application on Friday asking the high court to order the Durban North Primary School to allow his two children back into virtual classes after they were suspended for defaulting on school fees.

The grade 4 and 7 pupils were denied access to the school's online classes for children with comorbidities or with high-risk family members.

In court papers, the father said his 12-year-old, referred to as K, was asthmatic therefore, after presenting a doctor's certificate to the school, it was decided that his two children would take up the online option. On Thursday, the children's mother was informed that they were denied access as their school fees were in arrears. She was informed that the decision to suspend children, whose schools fees were not up to date, was taken by the school's governing body.
