“The EFF calls on immediate closure of contact learning. There is no reason to force contact learning because already there are rising infections amongst young people and children, which are disrupting schools”
The Department of Education has been given 7days to close schools.They said that there is no force to contact learning which suggest that learners might start doing online learning or collecting work from school. This has happen before during lockdowns last year,if EFF managed to closes the schools or Department of Education closes the schools then pupils will learn from home.
