The Gauteng Department of Education confirms grades one and eight applications extension, after online system host SITA undergoes planned maintenance.
The State IT Agency’s planned downtime at the weekend has prompted the Gauteng Department of Education to extend the deadline for online applications for grades one and eight in the province.
Although the system was up and running later on the 10th, the MEC says it meant parents lost two days in the application process, prompting the extension. The IT agency last week announced it will implement a three-day planned maintenance and upgrade of the electrical infrastructure at its Centurion data centre, from Thursday, 8 August at 16:00 until Sunday, 11 August.
“We are pleased to announce that as of 17:00 on Sunday, 11 August 2024, all the major works associated with the implementation of the infrastructure upgrades at the Centurion data centre had been concluded,” says Tlali Tlali, head of corporate affairs at SITA.
