Schools compelled to adhere to new admission policy: Lesufi

schools

are compelled to adhere to the new admission policy and regulations as per the order of the Constitutional Court. The new admission regulations are an attempt to eliminate exclusion of learners from accessing certain schools due to their geographical location that is a product of the apartheid era.

Meanwhile, Lesufi says he accepts the criticism that his department has failed to communicate on time with parents regarding online registration. The online registration process was introduced in 2016 and was heavily criticised by parents who complained that it was not user friendly. “We have noted criticism from some parents that the online system does not work to the extent that the department failed to communicate on time with the parents on the status of their application. For that we accept that criticism. But reality is that online application is an exciting, innovative, creative system that ensures equity, transparency and also provide the department with an opportunity to utilise its resources optimally.
