Most learners have been placed at schools in Limpopo, according to the provincial education department.
It said on Monday that all eligible pupils have been assigned to schools in Polokwane and Tzaneen.
“The department wishes to express its gratitude to parents and guardians for their patience and cooperation throughout the admission process. We also acknowledge the tireless efforts of our educators and staff who worked to ensure a smooth admission process,” said department spokesperson Matome Taueatsoala.
He said that following an extensive admission process, the department has ensured that every learner who applied for admission has been allocated a space.
Taueatsoala said that last year’s backlog of unplaced learners in the four Polokwane and Tzaneen hotspot circuits that were the result of incomplete applications had been addressed by the department, and they had been given the opportunity to appeal.
“This achievement is a testament to the department’s commitment to providing quality education to all learners,” he said.
Transport arrangements would be made for students who have been assigned destinations outside of the 5km radius.
The department will attend to the few remaining students in the Waterberg and Mogalakwena education districts over the next week.
