Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says all public schools are ready to receive pupils.

Motshekga said this during a media on the state of readiness for the 2021 academic year on Sunday.

“Our management teams returned on the 25 of January. Our teachers have been at work for two weeks since the first of February doing all sort of preparations to receive our learners tomorrow [Monday].

“We’ve also amended our school calendar for 2021 as published by the department confirming that tomorrow the 15 of February, will be the first day for public schooling in 2021.

“And from the outset, we want to emphasise that the health and safety of our teachers, our learners and our staff remains our top priority.”
