Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga notified the Council of Education Ministers on Monday that preparations for the reopening of schools on June 1 for Grade 7 and 12 were on track.
Motshekga said that this week would be dedicated to mopping up and finalizing all outstanding matters before learners return to school.
She said CEM has agreed that provinces should intensify the preparation towards 1 June reopening of schools.
“Having adopted the “just-in-time” approach, the focus would be to ensure that all health and safety requirements are prioritized,” she said.
These includes learner transport, water provision, basic hygiene and sanitation, psycho-social support and the recruitment and appointment of screeners and cleaners.
Last week, CEM decided that School Management Teams (SMTs) and teachers would return to school as from May 25 to finalise preparations ahead of the school reopening on 1 June 2020 for Grade 7 and 12.
