'No disruptions' as Grade 12s return to school in the Western Cape

Cape Town – The Western Cape Education Department described the return to class of Grade 12 pupils on Monday as an overall success, despite the chaos and confusion ahead of the gazetting of the new 2020 school calendar.

"Our Grade 12s need encouragement and motivation and safe spaces for revision and learning,” she said. Education MEC Debbie Schäfer said the Department of Basic Education had gazetted instructions outlining the phasing in of grades over the next month. Schäfer said that had put schools in the difficult position of not knowing whether to follow the new calendar, or the president’s speech - neither of which had any legal effect without gazetted directions.
