Gauteng parents urged to accept offers of placement for 2020

The Gauteng Education Department has urged parents who have received offers of placement for the 2020 admissions to accept the offer immediately.

The Department says should the parents not accept the offers; it will lead to the system being clogged.

“We wish to reiterate that parents who have already received offers of placement must accept before it is forfeited. It is important to remember that the Admission Regulations criteria and capacity of each school will determine the number of applicants

Should parents not accept these offers of placement made to them, same will be forfeited and offered to other parents.

It must be noted that placement is a process. When parents accept offers, more offers can be released to others.

Should the parents not accept the offer given, it leads to the system being clogged; consequently, restricting the system from releasing further offers of placement to parents still awaiting offers.

Gauteng Education Spokesperson Steve Mabona says this will also result in the system not being able to release further placement offers to parents who are still on the waiting list…

“Placement processes are actually unfolding. When parents accept offers, more offers can be released to others. Parents who have not yet received offers of placement are reminded that the process to send offers will end on Thursday, 31 October 2019.”

Parents who have not yet received offers of placement are reminded that the process to send offers will end on Thursday, 31 October 2019. The Department is working tirelessly to finalize the process of issuing offers to the remaining parents.
