Pupils will be divided into smaller groups for teaching when schools reopen on 3 June, the executive director in the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture, Sanet Steenkamp, has said.
The number of learners of smaller groups will depend on the classroom size and should be determined as such at each school," Steenkamp said.
Before all learners return to school, timetables should be revised to contain promotional subjects and life science only.
Teachers for Grades 8 and 10 in secondary school and Grades 4, 5 and 6 in primary school should be assigned to either invigilate groups of learners or to teach in subjects for which they are qualified.
"Schools will allocate specific sites to a specific group of learners to adhere to social distancing during break time and teachers and learners representative council members must ensure that this is being followed as they will do school ground duties at the specific sites and demarcated areas," she said.
