The struggle to learn during the Covid-19 lockdown (Video)
We've heard it before, South Africa's lockdown has been tough on learners. What we haven't heard enough of is the fact that students were left without data, without resources, and without any connections to their schooling for notable periods. So, what happens then? Couple this with parents losing jobs, fears about returning to school during a pandemic and a mounting workload, 'tough' can somewhat be an understatement.
