They’re going to push Sadtu and other unions to strike if they don’t ensure the safety of learners and teachers.
If it’s not safe for adults to fully return to work or travel, why is it safe for children to go back to school and then go back home to their families? (including vulnerable grandparents or younger siblings) Many teachers also fall in the vulnerable category 🤷♀️😷😢🤷♀️
I wish they could stop making empty promises about reopening schools...
