Siza Abafundi  Bakghone Ukulawula i-COVID-19 

 Abafundi bekade baqalene neentjhi jilo ezinengi nge banga lengogwana yekho rona (iCOVID-19) begodu nokuqinteliswa kwama khambo nemisebenzi ethi leko.
Kube namatjhuguluko  aragela phambili ekorweni yezefundo neenkolweni zeSewula Afrika, begodu lokho kungatjhiya abafundi bazizwa batshwenyekile begodu banevalo elikhulu.
Abafundi kwakufanele bazilawule ebujameni obutjha bokufunda nge-inthanethi nokubambezeleka kwehlelo lokufunda.  UDorhodere osebenza ngokweluleka ngengqondo u-Boitumelo Tlhapane, osebenzela iInclusive Edu cation Unit  y o m N y a n g o  wezeFundo esifundeni seFreyistata, uthi ukuzizwa utshwenyekile nofana uga ndelelekile ngokomkhumbulo ngazo iinkhathezi zobujamo obubudisi kuyinto ezwisisekako. “Sekuhlangene umnyaka nesiquntu nje sikilobubu jamo, abafundi kwakufanele bajayele indlela etja yoku funda, kubalekelwe ukuba sematlasini ngahlanye bangathintani nabasesikolweni bekwaphungulwa nesikhathi sokufundisa.
