Johannesburg - Teacher unions and governing body organisations have welcomed the national debate on reopening primary schools full-time, however, there is concern about under-resourced schools.
This comes as the Department of Basic Education (DBE) mulls over the decision to have all primary school pupils back to school full-time.
Primary school learners are less likely to be hospitalised and die from Covid-19 complications.
Most public schools are attending on a rotation schedule, the hybrid model. This means pupils are in school two days in one week and three days the following week – five days fortnightly. However, there have been concerns that the hybrid model was not working out.
