Teacher unions are outraged by the department of basic education’s decision to get school management teams (SMTs) and teachers to return to school weeks before pupils arrive.

Basil Manuel, executive director of the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of SA , said when they met the department on Wednesday, there was no talk of a staggered return to school for members of the SMTs and teachers.

“Teachers are not contracting the virus from schools. They are acquiring it because we are in the middle of a wave in the community.” “We wonder what informed this decision because teachers are as vulnerable to the pandemic as pupils. This shows the department has no regard for the lives of the workers who are the ones who are infected and overwhelming the hospitals,” said Maluleke.
