“There is no such thing as a holiday because we are currently intensifying efforts to organise all mechanisms to strengthen a safe school ecosystem.
“I have held a meeting and briefing with the psychosocial support team who are implementing crisis interventions to help school staff who have been affected by several incidents, to support their mental,” she said in a Facebook post.
