NEWSFLASH: EDUCATION: Gauteng 2020 online school admissions delayed as lobby groups oppose new system By Ayanda Mthethwa
Gauteng MEC of Education Panyaza Lesufi announced on Sunday 12 May that the 2020 Online admissions are postponed until 20 May. This comes after the Federation of Associations of Governing Bodies of South Africa , Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysunie and other SGB associations raised concerns with the department regarding various aspects of the system.
Lesufi said these organisations pleaded with the department to delay the opening of the admissions because “they believe that it is necessary to heighten greater awareness on the changes in legislation and admissions processes for public benefit”. Since the technical issue was raised, Lesufi said the HOD convened a meeting with FEDSAS and the technical team of the department to rectify that component, which has since been corrected.
