Bosetu unhappy with failure to enforce Covid-19 protocols in schools

Teachers trade union Bosetu is pointing fingers at basic education minister, Fidelis Molao and the Covid-19 task force team for their laxity in enforcing adherence to set preventative protocols in schools, leading to the current predicament where hundreds of students and teachers in Greater Gaborone are feared infected.

“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 .
