Parents and stakeholders must ensure schooling resumes in peace: DA
The party said that children across Gauteng deserve to resume with learning in peace, considering the many hiccups experienced since the beginning of the year.

GAUTENG.- The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has called on parents and different stakeholders across the province to ensure that learning and teaching resume tomorrow, Monday, 26 July, with no disruption.
This, the party said, is meant to cover for the time lost due to the early closure of the schools as a result of the Covid-19 infections spike. The party said that children across Gauteng deserve to resume with learning in peace, considering the many hiccups experienced since the beginning of the year.
“Due to the sudden change to level 4 lockdown last month, schools had closed earlier than scheduled for winter break. This has resulted in students losing out on school time and falling behind with the curriculum. Even though there is a rotational learning and teaching system in place as a result of this pandemic, the number of schooling days have been limited for certain grades which are not enough for effective learning and teaching.”
The DA said that it shared the concerns of parents and different stakeholders that the Covid-19 pandemic is severely affecting the education sector.
“However, we do not support any delays in the re-opening of schools.”
