Department still has to place 34 000 pupils at Gauteng schools | IOL News

JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi on Monday appealed for composure as the department continued with the pupil placement process.“Of the 34 000 pupils that have not been placed, 13 000 are in grade one, 21 000 are in grade 8. Of the 34 000 of those who did not receive an SMS, we have released 6 000 and are waiting for them to accept,” he said.

“Parents should be rest assured that the department is obliged to place all pupils, and as such, all pupils will be placed.” Lesufi said officials at district offices were intimidated and attacked on Sunday, while they were helping "livid" parents.

Why must this ALWAYS be chaos Lesufi?
