School Placements

The Gauteng Department of Education has admitted that thousands of learners are still waiting for 2026 school placements. Parents are being asked to remain patient, but frustration is growing as the year-end nears.
At the same time, South Africa faces a critical teacher shortage, with over 30,000 educators leaving public schools in just five years.
