💨 Abstract

The 2025 school year start was marred by placement issues, with many parents in Johannesburg, Western Cape, Mpumalanga, and Free State struggling to get their children placed in schools. Reasons included lack of required documents and high rejection rates of applications. The Western Cape Education Department reported a decrease in the number of learners requiring placement since December but a surge in late applications. Other provinces are also experiencing similar challenges.
