All applicants placed, says GDE

Only schools with available spaces will be on the system during the late registration period.

Applicants should also note that they will be provisionally placed at the schools that they have applied to.

Placement at the school will be confirmed once parents submit the required documents.

There will be no objections and appeals as there are only limited spaces.

“We are working tirelessly to finalise the outstanding appeals and responses to all those who appealed, and wish to assure all parents that all learners will be placed accordingly.

“Parents must note that the outcome of the appeal is final.

“The parents who submitted appeals to other government offices other than the office of MEC for Gauteng Education will not be responded to as the appeals process is clearly articulated in the regulations,” says Lesufi.
