Learners have welcomed the Basic Education Department’s decision to postpone the reopening of schools by two weeks but they fear for their safety.
Learners who were supposed to start the 2021 academic year are pleased that they will have two more weeks to remain at home. This follows the decision to postpone the reopening of schools by the department of basic education as COVID-19 cases continue rising.
Health-e spoke to learners in Gauteng following this announcement.
“The decision to change the dates is really affecting us. We will be left behind with our school work and by the time we reopen, we might have to rush through the curriculum.But I don’t feel like we would’ve been safe going back to school because of the second wave and I heard that it is more deadly,” said Grade 12 learner Neo Rabekane.
