Since the Covid-19 outbreak last year, pupils have been attending school on a rotational basis to prevent crowding and to adhere to social distancing protocols.
However, Department of Education spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga said in a statement that the Council of Education Minsters is meeting on Thursday and Friday to discuss the matter as well as the impact of Covid-19.
Government schools re-opened for the second term on Monday.
“The proposal is now being considered at the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure where the department has since delivered a presentation at the relevant workstreams,” said Mhlanga.
“In the meantime, schools will continue to apply the rotational approaches as the department intensifies its implementation of the safety campaign aimed at saving lives and livelihoods.”
