Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi worried about Gauteng matrics not in class

Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi says he’s worried about the 30% of matriculants who haven’t returned to schools in the province.

Lesufi says this has implications for the pupils transitioning into higher education. The MEC also says close to 2,000 schools in Gauteng never had or never reported any COVID-19 incidents.

“Of the 2131 schools that we have in the province, 1,977 schools were risk-free, which means 1,977 never had COVID-19 incidents or reported an incident related to the virus,” said Lesufi.

Lesufi says only 154 schools temporarily closed and re-opened. The Provincial Command Council delivered an update on its response to the pandemic on Friday. Coronavirus Hotline Number: 0800 029 999 from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
