Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will hold a media briefing on Saturday afternoon to provide an update on the sector's response to the impact of Covid-19 on schooling.
Several schools in the Province and the country have been closed as a result of teachers and learners testing positive for Covid-19.
Earlier this month the Department cancelled the mid-year-matric exam as a result of schools not getting enough time to complete the curriculum.
Minister Motshekga will also use the opportunity to address other matters affecting the basic education sector in the context of Covid-19.
South Africa has entered the third wave of Covid-19 with thousands of new cases reported daily.
Over the last 24-hours, another 11 767 positive cases were recorded.
