Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. I have registered my daughter online and have delayed to submit the required documents due to being hospitalised. I have been to Springs district many occasion without any success, I have also submitted documents hard copies to the school which I applied for. Up to this day my daughter has not been placed.

2. I have applied for my child in 2 schools around Alberton and was offered space in a school I did not apply to because of my personal reasons. I rejected the offer and yesterday, I received a SMS stating that if a child is not placed we must apply to schools with openings. How do I do that if the system is not even accepting my logins? I struggled connecting from last night website stating that the site cannot be reached. The system seems to be unfair. Somehow as I do not understand why the offer was made at a school I did not apply to and the status on the other two just says the application is in process. How do kids get placed? I need help as this is frustrating not knowing where the child should go beginning of the new year. Can we be assisted?

Error / Problem:
1. There must be another way to register my daughter who is going to grade 8 and my niece who is going to grade 5. The website is not opening. Can the department of education do something to help parents (or) Can we just go back to the old way of doing things cause that was working I dont understand why it has to change.

2. I would like to register my son for grade 8, however when I verify my details it does not give an option for South African citizen. It is already pre-populate for non-citizens.

3. This GDE website is not working, how do we get help? I have tried several times it is not working, I need to register my grade 7 son for grade 8. The government must do something.

4. I didn’t upload the documents which were needed in time for my grade 8 child so, yesterday I went to the district offices to find help they told me to log on to the system but it doesn’t allow me. What should I do?

Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, they want to apply but GDE Online Admission Application system is not working.
