“In the event an SMS states that your child has been placed at a certain school, this will be regarded as successful placement to the mentioned school.
“There will be no need for a parent/guardian to access the system to accept an offer in that regard, because the child would be placed at the mentioned school.”
Lesufi said the department followed a strict criteria to place pupils.
“Parents and guardians are reminded that the placement offers are based on the following criteria considered in order of priority, home address within the school’s feeder zone, sibling(s), previous school, work address within school’s feeder zone, home address within 30km radius, home address beyond 30km radius. Not at a first come first served basis.”
