Bosetu vice President Mogomotsi Motshegwa has confirmed that the two teachers trade unions, Bosetu and BTU last week met with the Ministry of Basic education and the National COVID19 Task Team concerning the worsening numbers of covid19 infections in schools.

Bosetu recently published statistics showing 25 schools nationwide grappling with covid19 with three temporarily closing while many others continued to operate as normal despite worrying situations on the ground.
