The call came after the Gauteng Education Department announced that parents and guardians will have another opportunity to register online for the 2022 academic year.
“In most cases, failure by parents to apply timeously affects both them and their child as they will be frustrated, and will be unable to budget for school uniforms, stationery, and scholar transport, not knowing whether their child has secured a place or not.
“Parents who are facing difficulties with their applications and those who do not have internet access should go to their nearest Gauteng Department of Education regional office for assistance with their applications,” Ramulifho said. He said his party would continue to urge the department to communicate with parents about the progress of their applications, and to ensure that those applications received on time were prioritised.
“We all have a responsibility to ensure that we protect our children’s right to access to basic education, where parents must apply online on time, and the department must ensure the placement of all learners,” he said. Ramulifho said the DA would continue to monitor the online admission process, from Grade 1 to 8, to ensure the process is running smoothly. Where there were system glitches, the party would inform the department, which had a responsibility to secure school placements for all children.
