The Gauteng Department of Education says parents and guardians of Grade 7 learners in the public schools must be mindful that the phase one online application period will close on 3 September 2021.
The department started its two-phased 2022 online admissions applications approach with phase one which began on 10 August 2021 and is set to end on 3 September.
Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi said the phase one specifically targeted parents and guardians whose children are currently in grade 7 at public schools in Gauteng and will be going to Grade 8 in 2022.
“We are grateful to parents and guardians who have managed to successfully apply and wish to encourage those who did not apply to do so before the closing date,”
“Those who seek assistance may visit our district offices/walk-in centers, or continue to interact with our contact center 0800 000 789,” said Lesufi.
Lesufi said parents who have already applied have only 7 days to upload the required documents online or submit them at the schools they applied to.
He said phase two applications will begin on 13 September 2021 and this will be for parents and guardians of children going to grade 1 and grade 8 in 2022 but are not in a public school in Gauteng.
“Phase two will subsequently end on 8 October 2021,” added Lesufi.
