The teachers’ union says the preconditions have now been raised by the unions which have been consulting with the department of basic education.
A briefing was supposed to take place on Monday but was postponed because the departments were still consulting stakeholders. It added that the non-negotiables should already be in place before schools reopen and that all personal protective equipment must be delivered in time.“The time frame for the reopening of schools proposed in the presentation leaves little or no time for all the measures to timeously be in place, leaving Naptosa with little choice but to withhold our support for such a proposal.
The department’s plan also outlined that it would ensure that scholar transportation was sanitised and that the PPEs would only be provided for quintile 1 to 4 schools.
