Bosetu unhappy with failure to enforce Covid-19 protocols in schools
Monday, May 04, 2020
“Minister Fidelis Molao of Basic Education has been on record several times positing that schools should re – open irrespective of the readiness status, as schools would work towards full compliance while they operate. This assertion is regrettable and it shows a flagrant disregard of the welfare of educators and students,” Bosetu said in a statement.
“It is quite clear that the Director of Public Health and the COVID – 19 Task Team are blowing hot and cold and have dismally failed to enforce the COVID – 19 compliance protocols when it comes to educational institutions. Some schools, both public and private, have been allowed to re -open without full compliance and have continued to operate until now while they remain non – compliant. This has not only exposed teachers and students, but it is now proving to be costly to the nation”, Bosetu says .
