The Gauteng Department of Education said it had received 73 000 more applications on Monday during the second phase of the 2022 online applications for Grade 1 and 8 pupils.
The department said, as of 12 pm on Monday, it had received 73 305 applications, of which 69300 applications for Grade 1 pupils and 3981 were for Grade 8 applications.
“This phase was initially meant for parents and guardians with children going to Grade 1 and Grade 8 in the 2022 academic year at Gauteng public schools. However, after realising that there were parents and guardians who were not able to apply on time during Phase 1 for learners in Grade 7 at public schools in Gauteng, they will also be able to apply during Phase 2,” he said.
“This year was the first time we launched our two-phased application approach, and the extent of its success has been astounding. Mabona said there was a slight delay on the admission systems on Monday morning as there were over 9000 parents on the site anxiously waiting for the system to be online.
