Parents reminded to accept offers of placement by Friday

Gauteng Department of Education reminds parents who received offers of placement on August 3 that they have until Friday, August 17 to accept or reject their offers. The department has extended the seven-working days window by one day due to the public holiday last week. There are 83 699 offers to parents which have not been accepted or rejected.

If parents have not accepted or rejected their offers by Friday, the department may accept on their behalf in accordance with the admission policy and criteria.When an offer is accepted, all other remaining offers will automatically become inaccessible.

Parents whose applications were not successful will be placed by district offices. The department will communicate with these parents in due course.
