Reabren todas las escuelas en el distrito de Cape Winelands

El Departamento de Educación de Western Cape ha confirmado que todas las escuelas del distrito de Cape Winelands han reabierto tras los cierres provocados por las condiciones meteorológicas adversas de la semana pasada.

El Departamento de Educación de Western Cape anunció el viernes que las escuelas del distrito de Cape Winelands ya están abiertas. Varias escuelas habían permanecido cerradas desde la semana pasada después de que las tormentas dañaran las carreteras y dejaran algunas zonas inaccesibles.

El ministro provincial de Educación, David Maynier, declaró que seis escuelas en el distrito educativo de Eden y Central Karoo permanecen cerradas debido a que las carreteras de acceso están bloqueadas. Los funcionarios del distrito y el personal escolar están trabajando para restablecer las operaciones normales.

Se están preparando planes de recuperación para evitar que cualquier estudiante se retrase debido a las interrupciones causadas por el clima.
