Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has officially launched the 2022 online applications for grade 1 and 8.
Lesufi made the announcement during a media briefing on Sunday, where he announced that the application process will open on Tuesday, 10 August 2021.
Lesufi said the application process will be in two phases.
“The first phase is for grade 7 learners currently in public primary schools applying for grade 8 and the second phase for grade 1 and 8 learners not in grade 7 in public schools,” Lesufi said.
“The first phase will open on 10 August 2021 at 08h00 and close on 3 September 2021 at 00h00. The second phase will commence on 13 September at 08h00 and close on 8 October at 00h00. The placement of phase 1 will happen between 15 October and 30 November while phase 2 will be between November 15 and November 30.”
Lesufi said applicants will be assisted at 47 decentralised walk-in centres across the province.
“In addition, some district offices and the head office will serve as walk-in centres. When a parent or guardian applies to a school for their child, it is critical to remember that the following criteria is considered in order of priority of the following: home address within the school’s feeder zone, sibling and or previous schools, work address within school’s feeder zone and home address which is within 30km radius.”
