Johannesburg - Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has announced the approval of new regulations on school admissions, including newly determined feeder zones changed from a 5km to a 30km radius from the chosen school.
The amended regulations allowed parents to apply to schools within a 30km radius and were no longer limited to 5km. The new regulations would allow children from all backgrounds to apply to whichever school they wanted to learn at despite their financial status and their residential address and parents' work address.
Other key changes in the regulations included that the power of the head of department to administer admissions in the province outlawed all forms of unfair discrimination and enabled the management of admissions in entry phase grades through an online admissions process.
