The Western Cape
Department of Education on Thursday launched the School Admissions Management
Information database.
The WCED believes
this new system will make it easier for schools to capture applications for
places and share this information with other schools and officials.
MEC of Education
Debbie Schafer said she is confident this system will help assist the
department, schools and parents in placing learners more effectively.
Ministerial
Spokesperson Jessica Shelver explained, “The system can be used to generate a
list of learners accepted at more than one school. Parents whose child has been
accepted at more than one school will have until September 26, 2014 to decide where they will be sending their
child.”
