DA: School senior management, teachers need to change thinking around COVID-19
Updated | By Newswatch
The DA in the province says senior management and educators at schools need to change their behaviour and thinking if they are to keep COVID-19 out.
Imran Keeka, the DA's spokesperson on Education, has been commenting on the national government's decision, this month, to delay the reopening of schools by two weeks.
Basic Education raised concern over the spread of COVID-19.
Keeka says though, during recent inspections to matric marking centres they found that some educators weren't strictly adhering to regulations.

He says 35 out of 380 educators at the Estcourt marking facility tested positive for the virus.
He says there were other issues. Keeka says he had back to back temperature screenings, which produced two different results.
He's meanwhile urged teacher unions to focus more on getting answers about the roll-out of vaccines for school staff.
