Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga is this evening addressing the nation on
preparations for the re-opening of schools.
Schools in the country closed more than two months ago in a bid to curb the spread of
the coronavirus.
On Monday, Motshekga held a meeting with MECs and heads of departments to finalise
plans to ensure pupils are safe when they return to the classroom, which could be as
early as next month.
A number of issues have been at the centre of the Education Department’s decision to
not yet announce a final plan, including the delay in deliveries of personal protective
equipment (PPE).
