Last day for Gauteng parents to accept school placement offers
"Should parents not accept these offers of placement made to them, (they) will be forfeited and offered to other parents."
The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has urged all parents who have received an offer of placement for Admissions 2020 to accept the offer immediately.
"Should the parents not accept the offer given, it leads to the system being clogged; consequently, restricting the system from releasing further offers of placement to parents still awaiting offers," said the GDE's Steve Mabona.
"Should parents not accept these offers of placement made to them, (they) will be forfeited and offered to other parents."

Mabona went on to explain: "It must be noted that placement is a process. When parents accept offers, more offers can be released to others."

According to Mabona, parents who have not yet received offers of placement were reassured that "the process to send offers will end on Thursday, 31 October 2019. The Department is working tirelessly to finalise the process of issuing offers to the remaining parents. We want to assure all parents that all learners will be placed accordingly."
Parents who do not have access to the internet may visit the School or District Office where they will be assisted to accept offers, according to Mabona.
