Western Cape MEC David
Maynier confirmed that schools in the Western Cape are already full. Thousands
of children are expected to wait until next year for placement.
On December 4 the Western
Cape Education department (WCED) allocated 97% places of the learners whose
applications were received for Grade 1 and Grade 8 for the 2025 school year.
Placement was in
progress for 3 698 Grade 1 and Grade 8 learners. In addition, from January 1
2025 the department expects to receive late admission applications.
Maynier said they were
building new schools and classrooms through the Rapid School Build Programme
with six new schools and 180 additional classrooms at existing schools
scheduled to be completed by January next year.
They aim to complete a
further three schools and 85 additional classrooms at existing schools by the
end of March 2025.
