We postponed re-opening of schools because most schools were not ready - basic education minister Motshekga YoliswaSobuwa

Motshekga said on Saturday the Council of Education Minister received three critical reports – the first, on the state of readiness from a research consortium coordinated by the National Education Collaboration Trust ; the second, on the state of delivery of water tanks and water supply by Rand Water; and the third, a technical report from the Heads of Education Departments Committee on the state of readiness for the phased-in reopening of schools.

"Based on these reports, it became clear that the sector was at different levels of readiness. In the main, it was for this reason that the CEM determined that the sector requires more time to mop-out its state of readiness for school reopening, in order to comply with the health and safety standards on Covid-19. CEM resolved that," Motshekga said.

Motshekga said it was critical that parents do not bring the grade 7s and 12s learners to school on Monday as the sector agreed that they will re-open next week Monday. She said teachers, whose PPEs have been delivered, were expected to report for work, and carry out the responsibilities she have already spelled-out.

You are the head of this! The blame rests with you! Take ownership To hold back everyone because some can’t cope is ridiculous and has never been done in the past.
