THE Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga will on Sunday morning brief the media on the state of
readiness as schools prepare to welcome their full complement of learners.
“Basic Education Minister, Mrs Angie Motshekga will tomorrow, Sunday 06 February, host a media
briefing to provide an update on the state of readiness as schools prepare to welcome their full
complement of learners.
This is after the Cabinet approved changes to the Adjusted Alert Level 1 COVID-19 regulations last week.
“Primary, secondary and special schools will return to daily attendance. The regulatory provision for the
social distancing of one metre for learners in schools has also been removed. The Ministers of Health
and Basic Education will in the coming days’ issue directives reflecting on this new approach,” the
Cabinet statement said.
The Department of Basic Education has welcomed the decision by Cabinet to allow schools to return to
full-time learning in all schools.
“The Department of Basic Education welcomes the decision by Cabinet to allow schools to return to full-
time learning in all schools,” said department spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga.
Mhlanga said that the Council of Education Ministers (CEM) agreed that schools would return to normal
timetable from Monday 7 February 2022.
