Over 1,000 Gauteng schools have received applications well in excess of their capacity but MEC Chiloane said all learners will be placed
.No grade 1 or grade 8 will be without a classroom in 2025, says Gauteng education department Member of the Executive Council Matome Chiloane.
Thereafter, learners with siblings in the school and their previous school were considered. Work address within the feeder zone and then home address within and beyond a 30km radius were the next considerations.As of 14 October, 199,492 have been placed, leaving 126,366 grade 1 and grade 8 applicants still needing a school for 2025.
Those learners who didn’t make it into their school of choice would receive transfer offers which must be accepted or declined within seven days.Some parents have expressed their dissatisfaction at their allocated school but the MEC said the parents were the ones who directed the department. “The issue is not…the capacity, the issue is the location of the schools which is a challenge. Town planners, they just approve, approve, approve. They don’t think about schools.
