The wait is finally over – South African students are getting ready to head back to school. But what should they expect in this new academic year? South African students may need to prepare differently and take extra diligent steps in order to stay safe amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This year is certainly not going to be the same as it was before. Schools need to adhere to strict health and safety guidelines set by the Department of Basic Education and schools may have different operational guidelines. Schools now need to work and plan for the safe reopening for academic activities.

If you are preparing for the new school year or helping someone else to do so, read on for a few tips and tricks to ensure you’re as prepared as possible.

• Prepare your materials: Most schools don’t provide learners with school materials due to the current circumstances. Make sure you have the materials you need along with a laptop, writing materials, and school uniforms protocol.
• Keep up-to-date with news: Things can change quickly with the virus and rules in the country, so make sure you keep track of any news about opening in time with the new academic year.
• Understand safety protocols: Each school may have their own safety guidelines, some of which may include district-level health protocols. Be sure to understand your school’s COVID-19 protocols before the school year.
