Parents who applied for their children to attend Western Cape Schools in 2021 earlier this year, had expected to hear the outcome from this weekend.
However, this process was disrupted due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, resulting in a delay in the finalisation of application outcomes for this year.
The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has revised the dates on which parents can expect to hear the outcome of their applications.
Parents will now be informed of the outcome by email or SMS between 12 June and 22 June.
The WCED has said that if children have been offered a place at a school in this time, parents will need to confirm their acceptance of this place by 3 July 2020.
Debbie Schäfer, MEC of Education says: “We urge parents to accept their spaces timeously, to assist us in finding spaces for unplaced learners. Should a parent receive an offer of a place after 3 July, they need to confirm their acceptance within 3 days.
“We thank parents and learners for their understanding and patience in this time of uncertainty.”
