Motshekga was expected to address the country on Monday, but the briefing was cancelled. The minister has been under pressure to come up with a strategy of re-opening schooling to save the academic year and to ensure that learners and teachers will be safe from possible infection from the coronavirus.
Madhi, a vaccinologist and an infectious disease specialist, believes that the Covid-19 lockdown that was instituted by South Africa since late March has done the best it could. “Adults are more likely to be infecting adults, and adults of the same age group are more likely to and because obviously they are in the same social circles.
Following that teachers were expected to also return to work from the end of May to prepare for learners. The expected re-opening of schooling was expected to start from June 1. This would see only a few grades return, such as grade 7 and 12 learners. The other grades would be phased in overtime.

Department's plans for staggered schooling gets the thumbs upA third option on the cards is getting overcrowded schools to introduce a “platoon” system, where some grades are taught in the morning until midday and others in the afternoon. That could work i attended my Sub A and B for 3 hrs 8 to 11 i was out hoorah good times What if a particular teacher teaches multiple grades? So that teacher will have to be at school from morning till late? That is against the Employment of Educators Act as amended. More educators will be needed, otherwise educators will be overworked and exhaustion will kick in.
