Gauteng’s 2027 online school admissions have already reached half a million applications
As of 2027, Gauteng province has received over 500,000 online school applications, sparking attention on the need for more classroom space. Education MEC Lebogang Maile has emphasized the strengthening of their admission management plan to ensure learners are allocated to schools with available spaces. Speaking to the media in Johannesburg, Maile addressed the issue of learners waiting for specialized placement.
He suggested interim support for those awaiting placements instead of keeping them on waiting lists. Maile's focus has shifted from the quantity of applicants received to the number of learners successfully placed, the outstanding applications, the reasons behind these outstanding applications, and the interventions for each unresolved category.
