The Limpopo Department
of Education is opening the process of registering learners for admission in
public schools for the 2023 academic year. Registration is now open from 24 May
to 29 July 2022, for children who will be going to school for the first time or
moving to a new school next year.
All our schools have
been identified as designated areas for collection and submission of admission
forms. Parents and legal guardians of qualifying learners are therefore
encouraged to immediately collect registration forms from the school nearest to
their home, where other siblings are attending or within a feeder
zone.
Completed forms must be
returned as soon as possible as admissions will be processed on a
first come first served basis, assuming that all other criteria in the
admissions guidelines are met.
Please bring the
following documents to register a child
:
· Birth
certificate or acceptable proof of birth date (do not take a baptismal
certificate as proof)
· Immunization
card
· Transfer card,
and/or
· Last report card
If you are not a South
African citizen, you must also submit the following documents over and above
the documents listed above:
· Study/work
permit
· Temporary or
permanent Residence Permit from the South African Department of Home Affairs
(DHA).
· Evidence that
you have applied for permission to stay in South Africa.
School management teams
have been directed to ensure that the process of collection and return of forms
is managed in line with the Department of Education’s standard operating
procedures for the management of COVID-19 in schools. This means strict
adherence to screening, sanitising and social distancing protocols throughout
the process
Any formal complaint
from parents whose children have not been admitted can be lodged through the
nearest circuit offices.
The Department will
monitor the learner admissions process very closely to ensure that the rights
of learners are always protected.
