Parents had to apply online for spaces at schools. The department says that about 5 000 applications were received during the late registration period which they opened on the 20th of December last year.Gauteng Education Department spokesperson, Steve Mabona, “We are working closely with the schools to increase capacity as they receive mobile units. Those that are building will also be monitored very closely and they can assist the department to increase capacity.
And we are working tirelessly to respond to all the appeals that have been lodged with the department, we are finalising that in due course.”The department says that the entire Gauteng Executive Council will be deployed to various schools on the day to ensure that schools are ready for the new year.“In Gauteng, the first day of schooling, learners must be in the classroom and the process of learning and teaching must then continue.
Foreigners have fetched their children next week there will be 30,000 placements left in Gauteng 🤞
I wonder why.
Every year the same story.... Can't they do basic sums as to the requirement for the year, way ahead of time...? It is called planning, and it is used daily by a multitude of sophisticated businesses quite successfully... They should try it sometime...
if only they had enough schools for all these learners...wait they would if they used the many unused facilities in the townships and employed competent educators.
