NEWSDECK: Gauteng Education’s online school admission applications for 2020 set to open in mid-May

In just 14 days the Gauteng Department of Education’s online applications for Grades 1 and 8 for the 2020 academic year will go live. Parents and guardians applying on behalf of learners will have from 13 May 2019 until midnight 15 July 2019 to submit applications.Parents are urged to apply online and on time. Applying on time makes it possible to obtain space in a public school,” Panyaza Lesufi, MEC of Education said.

Explaining the application process, Lesufi said that “when applying online, parents have a choice to submit a maximum of five applications, either using a home address, an applicant’s sibling who attends the school being applied to, work address of either one of the parents, if the applicant lives within a 30km radius and if the applicant lives beyond a 30km radius”.

In the past, there have been issues around the system failing as a result of lacking capacity to accommodate multiple users simultaneously.The department is pleased to announce that the capacity of the admissions online application system has been increased to accommodate 50,000 simultaneous users,” said Lesufi. “This is an increase from 40,000, which parents complained about”.
