Parents urged to register now for 2015
Final reports on the admission of learners are expected to be submitted by October 30.
NELSPRUIT – The Mpumalanga Department of Education urges parents to register their children now for the 2015 school year.
The process to register children started on May 5 and will continue until August 29, 2014.
“The department deems it necessary to start the process early to ensure that parents have adequate time to register their children and to ensure that challenges can be resolved in time. This process is guided by the admission guidelines issued by the head of hepartment, Ms Mahlasedi Mhlabane on December 1, 2013,” states the department.
According to those guidelines all schools are required to manage this process in their respective schools and to compile reports to update the line function on progress in accordance with the admission policy of learners in public schools and the respective school’s admission policy.
These policies must always take the Republic of South Africa’s constitutional mandate into account and should be in line with the dictates of the South African Schools Act No 84 of 1996. All districts are expected to submit their progress reports to the head of department not later than September 31, 2014.
The report states that circuit managers will be expected to lead all processes of addressing critical cases that may arise from the admission process and this should be finalised by October 15.
Final reports on the admission of learners are expected to be submitted by October 30.
