It is important to note that, only schools with available spaces will be availed on the system during the Late Registration Period. Applicants should also note that they will be provisionally be placed at the schools that they have applied to.

Placement at the school will be confirmed once parents submit the required documents. There will be no objections and appeals as there are only limited spaces.

Parents must note that the outcome of the appeal is final. The parents who submitted appeals to other government offices other than the office of MEC for Gauteng Education will not be responded to as the appeals process is clearly articulated in the Regulations. It must be reiterated that, ONLY schools with available space will appear on the Admissions Application System” said the MEC of Education in Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi
