The Minister of Basic Education Mrs Angie Motshekga has today launched Woza Matrics, a free-to-air television initiative that is aimed at supporting the matric learners of 2020 following the disruptions caused by COVID-19.
At the consultative meeting of the Minister of Basic Education organised by the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT), over 130 members of civil society raised questions and made submissions regarding schooling during swelling COVID-19 numbers across the country.
As part of the response the NECT is working with the DBE and the key partners to keep the over 440 000 teachers engaged with the current aspects of the disaster and to take advantage of the time to reflect on the teaching career.
Minister Angie Motshekga and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) thanks everyone - individuals, companies and NGOs – who have answered the call to be part of the comprehensive COVID-19 Learners’ Support Package.
In an effort to provide a national response to the reading challenges faced in South Africa, the NECT together with the Department of Education’s Read to Lead campaign has established the National Reading Coalition (NRC) - a self-sustaining, agile ecosystem of reading initiatives across the country.
