On Monday, Motshekga convened a special meeting of the council of education ministers (CEM) to consider the progress made towards the reopening of schools.
Last week, the department said that the agenda at Monday’s meeting would include the work done in the past week by different provinces, “including taking deliveries of the Covid-19 essentials required as preconditions for the reopening of schools”.
