This week, the Basic Education Department is expected to present a proposal for the rest of the 2020 academic year - which has been disrupted because of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the subsequent national lockdown. The plan will - among others - deal with issues such as when classes for the different grades should resume and how schools will be maintaining social distancing among learners. Earlier, Stellenbosch University Professor, Jonathan Jansen penned an article suggesting that "the 2020 school year is over" and should be written off. A view the department has since described as unfortunate.
To discuss the department's plans for the rest of the year, I'm joined now via Skype by its spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga.
