Departmental Spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene said the list of participating schools is available on the departmental website and the link for online registration will be active on the website from 3 June.
“Parents and legal guardians of qualifying learners are encouraged to collect registration forms from the school nearest to their homes, where other siblings are attending or within a feeder zone. The form must be completed and returned as soon as possible as admissions will be processed on a first come, first served basis, assuming that all other criteria in the admissions guidelines are met,” Chuene explained.
She added that strict adherence to Covid-19 health protocols; screening, sanitising and social distancing must be adhered to throughout the process. “School management teams have been directed to ensure that the process of collection and return of forms is managed in line with the department’s standard operating procedures for the management of Covid-19 in schools.”
Cheune said that any formal complaint, from parents whose children have not been admitted, can be lodged through the nearest circuit offices.
“The department will monitor the learner admissions process very closely to ensure that the rights of learners are always protected,” she concluded.
