The North West Department of Education would like to thank all parents and legal guardians who have already applied for early learner registration for the 2025 academic year.

Early registration is crucial in reducing the burden on schools in January and ensuring that the placement process is smooth and timely.
The Department urges parents and guardians who have not yet applied to do so before the final registration deadline on *30 September 2024* to avoid disruptions to your teaching and learning.

The Department will begin the placement process for all learners on the waiting list following the registration deadline.

MEC for Education in the North West, Viola Motsumi says the learner placement plans are in place and urges schools to talk to parents for application outcomes.

“I take time then to thank parents who have heeded the call to apply in the past months and urge parents to do so before the end of September.

“Schools are also required to communicate the outcomes of applications to parents and guardians promptly, ensuring that learners are placed in schools registered with the North West Department of Education”, expresses Motsumi.

Motsumi further emphasizes the importance of registering learners with accredited schools within their local communities.
“We encourage all parents and guardians to register their children with our public ordinary schools within their radius. This helps parents to avoid falling victim to bogus institutions. Early registration helps us plan more effectively and ensures that no child is left behind”, Motsumi adds.

The Department remains committed to ensuring that all learners have access to quality education in properly accredited institutions.
