The department’s spokesperson Steve Mabona says about 176 grade eight learners from the Tshwane West District are currently awaiting their placements at a new satellite school in Pretoria North.
Mabona says the department had to increase capacity in high-pressure areas to ensure that all learners are placed accordingly. “In the rest of the province where we were challenged, we have placed [learners]. Olifantsfontein, out of the initial 501 unplaced grade eight applicants in Kempton Park, 106 were placed at schools with available space. The remaining 395 learners were placed at a satellite school registered in New Kempton Park,” adds Mabona.
They may have been place, but now they don't have teacher to teach the kids. Not very useful. 😭
Hard to believe
I wonder if all the parents have access to online systems....?
