The Gauteng Department of Education reminds parents who received offers of placement on August 3 that they have until August 17 to accept or reject their offers.
The department has extended the seven-working days window period by one day due to the public holiday of last week.
Department spokesperson Steve Mabona said: “If parents have not accepted or rejected their offers by August 17, the department may accept on their behalf in accordance with the admission policy and criteria.
“It is important noting that, when an offer is accepted, all other remaining offers will automatically become inaccessible.”
Parents whose applications were not successful will be placed by district offices. The department will communicate with the parents in due course.
The department is committed to ensuring that all learners are placed by October 31.
Applicants who have lost or forgotten usernames and passwords, may contact the call centre on 0800 000 789, or log onto www.gdeadmissions.gov.za.

Step 1: Click on login to reset password.

Step 3: Enter identity number and click “Recover Account”.
Step 4: Enter mobile token sent to cell phone number, re-enter ID number field and create a new password.
