Gauteng online admissions set to close on Friday

Parents have until midnight to apply for grades one and eight pupils.

Spokesperson Steve Mabona says by Thursday, the system recorded 250 450 applications made for grade 1 and 30 409 applications grade 8.

“It is important to note that applications can still be made on www.gdeadmissions.gov.za. Parents are also reminded to upload their documents onto our system when applying, ensuring that each uploaded document is certified for schools to verify them accordingly.

“The placement period will commence on 15 October 2021 until 30 November 2021, and parents who applied during the application period will receive placement offers via SMS at that stage.”

Mabona believes the process has been a success.

“We are pleased at the success of the Online Admissions system so far, more so through the new two-phased approach which we introduced this year.

“We are thankful to everyone who played a role during this application period and we are hopeful for a successful placement period in the days to come.”
