This brought the grand total of applications made for grades 1 and 8 to 300,907.To apply, parents and guardians must visit www.gdeadmissions.gov.za and register to create unique login credentials, then proceed with the application process.

Applicants must provide one reliable and correct cellphone number when registering to receive important SMS notifications and updates regarding their application.“It is important to note that each step of the application process will be confirmed via SMS for security and verification purposes. As such, parents must always make sure they enter the correct cellphone number when registering to apply,” said Mabona.

"Therefore, we must re-emphasise that it is paramount for applicants to enter a reliable, active and correct cellphone number when registering. "We wish to remind all applicants that these are the documents required when applying for grade 1 and grade 8:sylum seeker permit; permanent residence permit; study permit; your South African birth certificate; plinic card/immunisation report .

“Proof of home address is the most important document when submitting an application. Placement is confirmed on whether the school could verify the details of the proof of home address, which should have the information that correlates with the details entered on the system.“We plead with applicants to refrain from submitting fraudulent documents as schools have systems to verify such,” he said.
