Every year, thousands of parents apply for their child to enter their schooling career. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has an online platform specifically for WCED school admission applications.
Submitting an admissions application will unfortunately not be possible if you have forgotten your login credentials. Here's how to reset your password if you've forgotten it.

Step 5: Click on VERIFY
Step 6: Create a new password and complete the Security information

One of the major criticisms of online admissions systems is that they are exclusionary for people who don’t have access to the internet.
The WCED has established 120 pop-up admission sites in shopping malls, schools, and other locations in all education districts. These sites offer support and assistance with the online application process.
