I thank the witnesses for coming and giving us their time. I congratulate them on the energy and effort that has gone into the reorganisation of activities in schools. I have one general question to them all. While we are still in the early stages, from the experience so far what is the weakest link in the delivery of the educational services and the prevention of an outbreak of the virus in a particular area at the same time? Is it in respect of school transport, class sizes, isolation areas or teachers possibly having to isolate? Is it possible to address these issues and continue to deliver educational services effectively?
