Equal Education (EE) media statement: One step forward, one step back: COVID-19 threatens an already fragile education system
“My expectation with my matric results is to pass with good marks… It [the matric year] was affected so badly [by COVID-19] that at times we couldn’t cope. We had to cover the whole year syllabus in months not only just finishing it but with a mandate of understanding every information given to us… What kept me going is the support our teachers gave us, the support my peers gave me… Also harsh reality hit us that we do not have a choice, we were never given a choice but to push through tough times.” –
