The Department of Basic Education is still engaging various stakeholders on the state of readiness for schools to resume from 1 June. Minister Angie Motshekga was expected to give an update on preparations for the reopening schools on Monday, but ongoing engagements resulted in another postponement to Tuesday. The department is mapping ways to ensure that schools reopen under safe conditions that will avoid the risk of COVID-19 spreading once the phasing in of pupils commences. Teacher unions and school associations have been involved in ongoing talks with the department on how teaching and learning would be carried out and whether all provinces were ready with necessary personal protective equipment (PPEs). Basil Manuel Executive Director: National Professional Teachers Organisation of South Africa (Naptosa) joins us now.
