While it remains unclear what lies ahead once pupils start returning to schools in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, some schools in Gauteng have already hit the ground running.
During Tuesday’s briefing, the department said provinces would provide updates on plans in preparation for teaching and learning to resume in a safe and clean environment to avoid the spread of the virus. Rooyakkers added while he was not concerned about the capacity of teachers, he was concerned about whether anyone would return who had underlying diseases and who was not feeling well and fit.“No matter what we do, to do it 100% right I don’t believe exists for anybody, that’s the reality. But in the same breath, you are going to please some people and you’re not going to please everybody.
“We will need more than 14 classrooms so we can have a 1 to 20 ratio. But my classrooms are big because I use multipurpose rooms.”Makhubu said although they needed a few more teachers, they would be using those who taught lower grades, such as 10 and 11, because he believed “all teachers are qualified to teach”.
He added the school was lucky it was already in the process of building four additional classrooms and had received a mobile one from the department.Makhubu said he was concerned most of the teachers at his schools were elderly.
