Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said on Friday he was pleased with the turnout of matric pupils in the first week back after a break in schooling.

During the provincial Covid-19 command centre update, Lesufi said he was concerned about matric pupils who had not returned to school.

He said steps have been taken at schools showing low attendance numbers since the resumption of learning during the amended school year. “Unfortunately, we still have people who are still disturbing school attendance, especially in the Tshwane area and Johannesburg. We have called for law-enforcement to assist us. Where there are disruptions we are dealing with them,” he said.“In Gauteng three grades are back, and we believe that by end of August all grades will be back at school. We believe the support we have been giving is helping.
