MALAIKA MAHLATSI | We are risking the lives not only of children, but of families at home who will likely be infected by these children.
The reality of the situation is that learners have missed a lot of schooling. Some, like my younger brother, have been doing online learning since the lockdown begun, so they are not behind with their academic work. But millions of learners are. They are not from quintile 5 schools where resources are abundant.
The second reality is that continuing with schooling is increasingly becoming an extremely dangerous exercise. So, sending children to schools, even where decontamination and physical distancing is being adhered to, is not a sensible thing to do. We are risking the lives not only of children, but of families at home who will likely be infected by these children.
