South Africa could start opening schools on 6 May according to News24.
Schools are to reopen in phases from the planned date of 6 May, although this is subject to change, MPs have heard.
Feedback from social cluster ministers was that 18 May could be more feasible.
On the first day, only Grade 7 and Grade 12 pupils are expected to go back to school.Grade 11 and Grade 6 pupils are scheduled to follow two weeks later and pupils in other grades will follow every two weeks until Grade R pupils’ anticipated return on 15 July.
The feasibility is under question and the discussion is still going on but deputy minister of basic education Reginah Mhaule was adamant that schools would open in May by the 18th at latest after approval from the National Command Council.
Under the plan, pupils and educators will be screened and no more than 40 children will be in a class.
South Africa is set to undergo a gradual easing of restrictions after a 35-day national lockdown.
