The Western Cape Education Department has again called on parents to enroll their children to schools.

Parents were asked to apply to schools by the 30th of June 2015.

WCED Spokesperson Jessica Shelver said so far they have registered about 118 000 learners.

Three new schools are being opened and approximately 190 additional mobile classrooms are being sourced to meet demands.

Shelver highlighted that the department cannot guarantee places in schools of choices, but will do our utmost to place children appropriately.

Last year the department introduced the new online school admission management information system.

The system was developed to simplify the management of learner enrollment.


“This system makes it easier for schools to capture applications for places and to share this information with other schools and officials.” Shelver added.
