learners for the 2024 academic year will move swiftly.
PICTURE: Dream timeThe MEC for Education in the province, Matome Chiloane,
made an announcement on Sunday,
regarding the 2024 online application period for grades one and eight, which opens
from 15 June until 14 July.
However earlier this year, a number of parents expressed
their grievances about the process after it failed to place some learners on
time for this academic period. Chiloane said the department is tacking actions
to building more schools to avoid learners not being placed due to space
constraints.
“Our system has been growing over the past 10 years or so.
So, the infrastructure need is also becoming exponential, so we have to come up
with measures.''
"That is why I say that parents must be rest assured
that in terms of capacity, we are working around the clock to ensure that we
get the spaces right, so that the capacity is increased” he said.
