Process of GDE Placement Gauteng

Application:
Parents or guardians are required to submit an application for placement on behalf of their child during the specified application period. This is usually done online through the GDE’s official website or at designated application centers.

Selection:
The GDE uses a selection process to allocate learners to schools based on various factors, including proximity to the school, availability of space, sibling preferences, and the learner’s home address.

Placement:
Once the selection process is completed, parents or guardians are notified of the outcome and the school to which their child has been allocated. They are then required to accept or decline the placement within a specified timeframe.

Registration:
If the placement is accepted, parents or guardians are required to register their child at the allocated school within the designated registration period. This typically involves submitting required documents and completing registration forms
