ABESA calls for vaccine priority for educators

Anglican Board of Education for Southern Africa – Statement

The Anglican Board of Education for Southern Africa supports this week’s call from the unions in the education sector upon the Minister of Health, for educators to be preferred in the queue for COVID-19 vaccinations, as frontline workers in the nation.

It is critical for South Africa’s future that registered learners are in school as much and as early as possible; that school feeding schemes operate; and that the adult care given by educators in class and in the community is afforded as fully as possible.
