The Department of Education in North West says its regions are still faced with several parents needing school placements for their children.
The department says some parents don’t like the schools where their children have been placed.
Education Department Spokesperson, Vuyo Mantshule, says they work every day to assist parents by placing learners in available schools.
“Many parents are rejecting the schools where their children have been placed. In some cases, they return to the hubs to request placement at other schools. The Rustenburg, Potchefstroom and Mafikeng local education offices are regarded as hotspot areas in the province, where large numbers of parents visit daily in search of school placements. Officials work tirelessly, each day, to assist parents by placing learners in available schools,” says Mantshule.
MEC Matsumi encourages parents to work with educators to assess learners the learners’ subject profile, often realigning learners’ subjects to better match their strengths and career interest in a more effective way to ensure future academic success than simply changing schools.
