Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane has urged parents who will receive their provisional acceptance letters for grades 1 and 8 placements for 2025, to respond swiftly.
The 2025 online application process went live on 11 July.
It was initially scheduled to close on 12 August but was pushed back by two days due to a technical glitch.
On Sunday, Chiloane said of the 800,000 applications received, 340,000 had been declared as unique, while another 19,000 were considered as incomplete.
The MEC said the department’s current focus was to ensure that the first batch of successful applicants are placed, so they can begin placing the unsuccessful candidates.
“The parents can provisionally accept the offer, meaning that space allocated for the child will be kept by the system, awaiting other offers. But there’s a period to it, about two weeks or so -it can be 14 days. By that time you would be able to see if all the other schools have reached capacity or not, then the child will be placed there – in the provisionally accepted space offer.”
