 To open or not? Kegomotso Christopher joins parents' Twitter debate about 2020 school year. As Mzantzi approaches 50 days in national lockdown, the question about the education of children is becoming more pressing, and mother of two and actress Kegomotso Christopher has joined the conversation on social media. The collective anxiety about how the future of South Africans will be negatively affected by COVID-19 can be felt through the virtual streets. Kegomotso joined hashtag parent Twitter as they voiced their concerns about what the Department of Education will decide for their children. Their biggest concern was that every solution seemed to have negative side effects. For example, continuing school online wouldn't cater for everybody because of the big inequality divide in Mzantzi. Sadly not all families have TV sets, data, and smartphones, Kegomotso said. The actress acknowledged that the public broadcaster had created programming designed to help learners. However, she was aware there are families without TV sets, let alone data for online learning. The situation is tough on a lot of kids. My concern is about kids who don't have resources and who weren't catered for. Apparently, if they shut down schools in 2020, all kids will automatically move to the next grade. That's not a great solution either. We need more sophisticated and inclusive solutions, Kegomotso said. Parents shared other solutions they believe should be on the table, even though they all realized each solution presented had both pros and cons. Some parents wanted the 2020 academic year to be considered null and void, while others wanted their kids to be bumped to the next grade regardless of their 2020 academic performances. The one thing all parents seem to be in agreement about is the fact that the Department of Education has to make very tough decisions.
