BOSETU Awaits Report Amidst Wintry COVID-19 Reopening

In the midst of a delayed wintry reopening of schools due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, BOSETU’s complaint is that they have long requested the Ministry of Basic Education (MoBE) to produce a report on schools’ readiness, but the union has been sent from pillar to post.

“Our position as teachers unions is clear, if all schools have adhered to Health required standards then schools may open. But from the information we are getting on the ground, there are those schools that have met the required standards and those which did not for different reasons known by the ministry,” BOSETU vice president, Mogomotsi Motshegwa told The Monitor.
