The Northern Cape Education Department has opened their online application portal for the 2023 academic year. The online applications are for the admission of learners to public schools.
Parents of learners attending Grade R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 in 2023 will have until 20 June to apply on the online portal.
The department reminded parents that they cannot guarantee placement of a learner at the school of the applicant's preference, but they will ensure that all learners who applied for Grade 1 and 8 are placed.
The department said, “Once information on the application form is completed and submitted no changes can be made”.
They added that if applicants provide any falsified or incorrect information and documentation, their application can be rejected and/or disqualified.
In the Northern Cape, applications consist of three steps. Parents must complete these steps to ensure their application is complete.
- Parent/ legal guardian registration
- Learner profiling
