The department of education in the Western Cape continues to work hard to place all learners in class as speedily as is possible.
Allan Winde, the premier of the Western Cape, said this was a challenging task, as hundreds of new applications arrive each week.
Winde appealed to any parent who has not yet applied to do so immediately at their district office. “Details of our district officials who can assist are available on the WCED website: https://www.westerncape.gov.za/education/service/learner-admissions,” he advised.
“Crucially,” Winde went on, “we appeal to parents to ensure that they provide accurate, current contact details to our districts so that we can reach them when a place becomes available for their child.”
He explained that the department understands that this will be a frustrating period for some of of the parents, “but we assure them that we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to find places for every learner in the Western Cape.”
