UCT Online High School has reopened its admissions window to aid with the current learner placement crisis in the Western Cape . The Western Cape Education Department says it has placed 99.43 percent of its applicants for the 2024 academic year, but schools are completely full. Schools in the Western Cape are absolutely full and can take no more learners.
This is according to the Western Cape Education Department, which issued a statement on Wednesday that it was fighting to find more places for learners at schools in the province. It has already placed 99.43 percent of applicants it received earlier this year but fears that when more applicants come in next year, it will not be able to place every child. “Our officials and schools are working hard under extreme pressure to make sure that they find a place for every child. We are leaving no stone unturned in our effort to place every learner, and we will continue to work to finalize placement for all remaining learners whose parents have already applied,” the department said in its announcement
