2023 GRADE 8 Applications

GAUTENG ONLINE ADMISSIONS FOR GRADE  8 OPEN ON 22 JULY Gauteng Education MEC Mr Panyaza Lesufi wishes to announce that Online Admissions for  Grade 8 for the 2023 academic year will commence on 22 July 2022. The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has reviewed the online system, as well as the previous two-phased approach. After an analysis of various online parent surveys and stakeholder consultations, the system has now been enhanced to follow a single application process, allowing all applicants to apply at the same time during the application period. We believe this overall simplified applications process will satisfy everyone.

The application period will start on 22 July 2022 at 08:00 AM for Grade 8 applications, and it will close on 19 August 2022 at 00:00 AM. To apply, visit: www.gdeadmissions.gov.za.

Parents and guardians will receive SMS notifications of placements offers to either accept or decline from 3 – 31 October 2022.

We urge parents and guardians to upload or submit certified copies of the following documents within 7 days of applying: 1. Parent and Child ID or Passport 2. Refugee Permit 3. Asylum Seeker Permit 4. Permanent Residence Permit 5. Study Permit 6. South African Birth Certificate 7. Proof of Home Address 8. Proof of Work Address 9. Latest School Report  Parents and guardians will be given up until 26 August 2022 (7 days after application period ends) to upload or submit their documents. However, documents that are uploaded or submitted after the application period closing date will be considered as incomplete applications and will only receive placement at available schools from 1 – 15 December 2022. To eliminate the risk of overlooking an applicant with uploaded documents by a school, during and up to 7 days after the end of the application period, schools will receive an auto alert each time new documents are uploaded. The system will highlight all uploaded documents for verification. In order to hold schools accountable for verification of all received documents, the system will prompt schools to answer the question whether an applicant submitted documents or not. If verified, the system will prompt the school to verify and update document status. If not verified, the system will create an alert on the parent’s profile and an SMS will be sent to parent to submit or upload documents. As part of the system enhancement process,

Applicants will be afforded the opportunity to make informed choices regarding languages offered when applying to a school. Language of Learning and Teaching, Home Languages, and additional languages offered by each school will be visible on the system to applicants during the application period. 2 All applicants will be granted an opportunity to apply to a school of their choice, according to the selected application option. This is an improvement as previous complaints we received stated that schools were not available for certain application options and, as such, all schools will remain open for applications for all during the application period.

For all applicants to submit completed applications, electronic messages will be sent via SMS reminding parents and guardians to complete their application, and the same notifications will be created on the parent’s profile on the system. SMS notifications informing applicants whether their application was successful or unsuccessful will be sent from 3 – 31 October 2022. Therefore, it is highly important that applicants provide ONE reliable and working cellphone number when applying in order to receive notifications and complete their application.

It must be noted that placement will be conducted as per the following admission regulations: 1. Home address within feeder zone 2. Siblings 3. Work address 4. Within 30km Radius 5. Beyond 30km Radius

To ensure access for applicants who are unable to apply from the comfort of their homes and or offices, the department has identified Decentralised Walk-In Centres in different areas where applicants will be safely assisted. In addition, some District Offices and the Head Office will serve as walk-in centres. This information will be made available to the public via schools, districts, the GDE Website and social media platforms. Parents and guardians who will be experiencing challenges during the application period are encouraged to visit our District Offices and Decentralised Walk-In Centres or call the GDE’s Contact Centre 0800 000 789. “Dear parents and guardians, if your child will be seeking space at a school in Gauteng for 8 in 2023, make sure you diarise the announced dates as they are very important. Officials incorporated inputs from our stakeholders on how to improve the system. Indeed, we are hopeful that these implemented enhancements will be helpful to all applicants. Accordingly, we must reiterate that capacity remains our challenge in Gauteng, and a factor that applicants must always bear in mind when applying,” said MEC Lesufi.
