Kavango East Education Director Fanuel Kapapero has called on the management of schools in the region to ensure the availability of hand sanitisers, masks and clean water before teachers return to schools on Monday. Kapapero, in an interview with NAMPA on Wednesday, said teachers were supposed to return to school on Wednesday, but after a meeting with the Namibia National Teachers Union on the same day, it was decided that teachers go back to school next Monday. According to the director, all schools in the region must procure the required items using their school funds and only schools whose funds have been depleted will be assisted by the directorate. Teachers are expected to prepare learning material for e-learning until schools officially re-open for face-to-face lessons.
