Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says it all systems go for school children to go back to classes full-time from Monday.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motsheka will gazette the changes to school timetables, which means rotational school learning will come to an end.
The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) said that rotational learning had been harmful to learners, affecting their cognitive abilities, disrupting the national school nutrition programme and taking a toll on their mental wellbeing.
The new regulations were gazetted overnight, bringing an end to rotational learning in schools after almost two years.
For many children from poor households, it will be difficult to re-budget for the extra costs involved in full-time learning.
