Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi says the department has received positive reports from Districts across the province stating that learning and teaching has not been disrupted at schools.
“However, our Districts have communicated a challenge of average learner attendance in some schools.
“Therefore, we appeal to parents and
guardians to ensure their children attend class on all schooling days.
“We are preparing to facilitate preliminary examinations for matriculants and, as such, we appeal that schools must not be disrupted during this preparation process. As it stands, we have limited teaching days before
learners write their final examinations,” Lesufi concludes.
