The Western Cape Department of Education today said progress is being made in trying to place learners in schools in Mitchell’s Plain. 

The WCED said the majority of learners requiring assistance to get places in school that have applied late or have arrived late in the province. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh said in Mitchell’s Plain there are around 90 learners that are in our system and need placement, however 28 of these are untraceable.

“We can only assume they have already found places in schools and therefore we are looking for around 60 learners in Mitchell’s Plain and the last two weeks we have placed over 1 000 learners in Mitchell’s Plain alone. Just evidence, that progress has been made,” Casey added.
