Gauteng parents up in arms over spaces for Grade 1 and 8 learners | Pretoria News

Pretoria - The Gauteng Department of Education should swallow its pride and allow schools and school governing bodies to handle applications and registrations of Grade 1 and 8 learners, parents said on Sunday. Parents were speaking outside the provincial education's Tshwane district offices, where they had converged to demand placement for their children. Similar scenes were reported from other district offices across the province.

Most of the parents said they were going to send their children from townships to schools in Centurion, Valhalla, Wierdapark, Lyttelton and Olievenhoutbosch.

Ttrrtteteoo e we This chaos never happened when schools only took students from the area in which the school was located. Students also didn’t risk getting killed because they didn’t travel for hours in unroadworthy taxis to get to a school of their parents choice on the opposite side of town Nonsense, who frustrated those parents...The department is the root course for this frustrations but parents must not attack officials coz it is wrong from all side of views. The little Hero I failed us big time,now they want to place us anywhere...
