Registrations for 2022 initiated in local schools

SEKHUKHUNE – The Limpopo Department of Education has opened the registration process for the admission of learners to public schools for the 2022 academic year.

Walk-in registrations at schools are open from May 17 to July 30, for children who will be going to school for the first time or moving to a new school next year.

Children can also be registered online at selected schools participating in the online learner admission pilot project, from June 3 to August 7. The list of participating schools is available on the departmental website: www.edu.limpopo.gov.za. The link for online registration will be active on the website from June 3.

“Forms for walk-in registration are collected and submitted back to schools. Parents and legal guardians of qualifying learners are therefore encouraged to immediately collect registration forms from the school nearest their homes, where other siblings are attending or within a feeder zone. Completed forms must be returned as soon as possible, as admissions will be processed on a first come, first served basis, assuming that all other criteria in the admissions guidelines are met,” said departmental spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene.

“School management teams have been directed to ensure that the process of collecting and returning forms is managed in line with the Department of Education’s standard operating procedures for the management of Covid-19 in schools. This means strict adherence to screening, sanitising and social distancing protocols throughout the process.”
