Education executive director Sanet Steenkamp yesterday said learners and teachers will deviate from the school calendar for the remainder of the academic year due to the November Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
This means 22 November 2024 will be the last day of school for learners. The last day for teachers is 6 December 2024.
On the same day, teachers will also be expected to issue report cards to learners.
“Schools and hostels will be closed on 27 November for the elections. The last day for teachers, hostel staff and institutional workers is 6 December 2024, and school reports should be issued to learners by this date. We call on all the stakeholders to note this change in the school calendar, and adhere to it,” she said.
