ALL SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHERN CAPE TO RETURN TO NORMAL TIMETABLING MODEL 

 

The Northern Cape Department of Education welcomes the return of all learners back to normal schooling as from Monday, 7 February 2022. This follows after a decision taken by Cabinet last week to effect changes with regards to the Adjusted Alert Level 1 Covid-19 regulations. 

 

The Department issued a Circular to inform all schools about the changes and the preparation required for the return of all learners. At this stage it's all systems go and no school has indicated that they won't be able to return to the normal timetabling model. Our District offices will nevertheless monitor and assess the return of all learners tomorrow as well as indicate if any major challenges are reported. 

 

The pharmaceutical interventions will remain in place and strictly enforced by all schools. Compulsory screening will continue and the implementation of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be closely monitored by the Department. 

 

We thank all principals, educators and support staff at schools for their ongoing dedication, hard work and commitment to the education of our children. 

 

End.
