Dr S N P Sishi, Head of Department (HOD), in his opening remarks stated that KwaZulu-Natal had the largest learner population in South Africa. Finding solutions to the challenges in this province would automatically shift the whole country forward. The Provincial Department and the Legislature Portfolio Committee also conducted similar school visits to at least 30 schools in the last two weeks, to report on teaching and learning. The Department could confidently say that teaching and learning was conducted at all schools in the province. He assured the Portfolio Committee that by the time schools reopened, no school would be without school management.
