Despite Tuesday's disruptions, classes continued at Vista High School in Bo-Kaap on Wednesday without any disruptions.

Officials from the Western Cape Education Department, as well as its district office, met with parents on Wednesday morning to outline their plan.

The plan will focus on the high teacher turnover rates, as well as the lack of academic support.

The department’s Bronagh Hammond explained: "Now, this includes teacher development programmes, telematics programme, the Back-on-Track programme, and after school weekend and holiday tutoring programmes. The WCED is also providing counselling support."

Hammond said that no further disruptions were expected and disciplinary action would be taken against pupils who do so.
