Gauteng Education hits 500k online applications
The Gauteng Department of Education on Wednesday said its online registration system for Grade 1 and Grade 8 pupils had thus far captured more than 500,000 applications.
The online portal opened last week Thursday.
The closing date for applications is 12 August.
Spokesperson Steve Mabona said parents who struggle with online registrations need to visit the department’s district offices.
"On Wednesday at 11:00, the online admissions system recorded a total of 512,237 applications. This translates to 214,843 Grade 1 applications and 297,394 Grade 8 applications,” he said.
"It is crucial to note that incomplete applications will not be processed for placement. Currently, we have identified over 12,000 parents who have not completed the full process.
"Parents must either upload certified copies of required documents online or submit them to all selected schools within seven days of application.”
Mabona said parents can expect placement offers from 16 September.
