Gauteng education dept throws parents a lifeline in the form of late registrations, Curro offers help
14 January 2020
The Gauteng education department has "reluctantly" thrown a lifeline to parents of Grade 1 and Grade 8 pupils who were late with their applications for the 2020 school year.
Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said online registration would be reopened at midnight on Tuesday to give them another chance.
"Tomorrow, we are reluctantly opening for late registration. I am urging parents that before midnight tonight, to accept offers we are giving them because if they don't, someone will take their space," he said.
Lesufi promised that those who applied late would be placed immediately.
