Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1. I have registered my son for grade 1. The system doesn’t want to download my documents from my phone, I decided to go back to the school and hand deliver the documents. When I check online it says that, the school didn’t receive my documents whereas I delivered them before the 7 working days. Please help I need a way forward.

2. I have applied for my daughter for Grade 1 and when I tried to go to check how is the processing going I can’t be able to log. I am frustrated because, I was able to apply for Grade R for my other and they have admitted her at Modderfontein Laerskool and now I am waiting in panic for the Grade 1 application

3. I am so frustrated, I have been trying to register my son from September until now thinking that maybe it will work better if it’s not over loaded, but it’s still the same. Nothing happens on this system whether you press login (or) parent registration. I have sent an email to the department but, I was told to register first, I don’t think this person went to the system to check what is happening.

GDE Admission Process

However, here is a general overview of the GDE admission process for primary and secondary schools in Gauteng:

Application Period:
The GDE typically opens an application period for admissions to primary and secondary schools in Gauteng during a specified time frame. This period may vary from year to year and is usually communicated through official channels such as the GDE website, schools, and local media.

Application Submission:
During the application period, parents or guardians are required to submit an application form to the school or schools they wish to apply for. The application form can usually be obtained from the school or downloaded from the GDE website. The application form may require information such as the student’s personal details, previous school information, and the preferred school or program.

Documentation Submission:
Along with the completed application form, parents or guardians are typically required to submit supporting documents, which may include the student’s birth certificate, proof of residence, previous school report or academic record, and any other documents as specified by the school or GDE.

Application Processing:
Once the application and supporting documents are submitted, the school or GDE will review the application and determine if the student meets the admission requirements for the specific school or program. This may include considerations such as the availability of space, admission criteria, and any special requirements for certain programs or schools.

Notification of Admission:
After the application has been processed, the school or GDE will typically notify parents or guardians of the outcome of the application. If the application is successful, the notification may include details such as the school placement, enrollment procedures, and any additional requirements or fees.

Enrollment and Registration:
If the application is successful, parents or guardians are usually required to complete the enrollment and registration process as per the instructions provided by the school or GDE. This may involve submitting additional documents, paying fees, and completing any necessary forms or agreements.
