Some independent schools open doors to Grade 7 and 12 pupils

Independent school, Crawford, opened up its doors to Grade 7 and 12 pupils on Monday, as directed by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga on Friday.

“We are sticking with science and behavioural change through developing understanding of why we are doing what we are, so that it makes sense to students and staff to comply. This is the best way to turn these new realities into habits,” she said. News24 visited Crawford in Lonehill, Johannesburg, to find Grade 12s returning to school.

This comes after various schools governing bodies and unions met with the Motshekga on Saturday to express their concerns, saying the sector was not ready to proceed with academic activity.
