The MEC said SMSes with placement offers will be sent to parents and guardians from 4 September.Taking into account feedback from parents and other stakeholders, such as school governing bodies, the department has also made changes and improvements to its online admissions system.
In previous years, applicants have voiced their complaints regarding glitches in the system, which has been plagued by recurring challenges. These challenges include the system’s inability to handle multiple users at the same time. “Annually we do an assessment of the system and identify areas that we need to improve and the areas vary. And that’s why we know that the system for next year will be better,” said Chiloane.The MEC urged parents to use the school feeder zone application option by providing their valid home addresses. This will allow them to view schools that are in close proximity to their homes.
Additionally, parents are encouraged to apply for a minimum of three schools and a maximum of five schools for each child, providing them with a wider range of options during the admissions process.To prevent errors, the department advised parents and guardians against using internet cafés for the online application process. Instead, they were encouraged to visit a school, district office, or use one of the 80 decentralised walk-in centers for assistance.
