Pupils at Scottsville Secondary School in Kraaifontein, Cape Town, did not let their circumstances dampen their spirits: they doubled their matric pass rate from 29.5% in 2020 to 64.0% in 2021.
Pupils at only 12% of primary schools in the Western Cape can return to school at full capacity on Wednesday, with 88% still unable to follow the 1m social distancing rule.
Western Cape education MEC Debbie Schäfer has called for the scrapping of the one-metre social distancing rule in classrooms so all pupils can return to school.
