The Gauteng Department of Education has confirmed that over 73 000 successful Grade 1 and 8 applications were recorded on day one of the Phase 2 of the 2022 Online Admissions applications.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The department said that as of midday, a total of 73 305 successful Grade 1 and 8 applications were recorded on its system.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of the total figure, the number of applications recorded for Grade 1 are 69 300 and Grade 8 recorded 3 981 applications.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis phase was initially meant for parents and guardians with children going to Grade 1 and Grade 8 in the 2022 academic year at Gauteng public schools. However, after realising that there were parents and guardians who were not able to apply on time during Phase 1 for learners in Grade 7 at public schools in Gauteng, they will also be able to apply during Phase 2,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The department said before the system opened on Monday morning, approximately 9 000 parents were on the landing page waiting for it to open, which caused an administrative delay.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Parents and guardians are reminded to upload their documents onto the system within seven days of applying or submit the documents to all schools applied to.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is incredible that our Online Admissions system keeps advancing and making strides as the years progress. This year was the first time we launched our two-phased application approach and the extent of its success has been astounding.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to all parents and guardians who have conveyed their success in applying for their children using our system,\u201d said Gauteng Department of Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The GDE team will be available for assistance during Phase 2 applications on all their social media platforms, decentralized walk-in centres and call centre on 0800 000 789.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
