Education MEC Donald Grant’s office reviewed the effects of the industrial strike action at schools in the Western Cape.
According to reports from their district offices about 102 schools were closed and over a quarter of teachers were absent from work.
Grant would like to thank district officials for their effective monitoring of absenteeism levels and for ensuring that learners were supervised wherever possible.
He would also like to thank any school governing body members and parents who stepped in to assist.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely. Indications are that the action embarked on by two of the three teacher unions will be of short duration.
I would again like to reiterate to parents and caregivers to send their children to school tomorrow.
The sooner the situation in all our schools returns to normal, the better it will be for all concerned.
