THE Western Cape Education Department has made a final call to parents to apply for placements in Grade R, 1 or 8 for the 2026 school year before the admission window closes tomorrow.
Education MEC David Maynier says: “We remain concerned that over 25,000 parents of current Grade 7 learners have not yet applied for a place in Grade 8 next year.
“We appeal to these parents to apply before the on-time admissions window closes on 15 April 2025.
Applications are to be submitted online, and documents will need to be scanned and uploaded to the online admissions system.
The admissions system, as well as background information and step-by-step guides on how to apply, are available at https://www.westerncape.gov.za/education/service/learner-admissions
