Back to school registrations news

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga confirmed on Wednesday that late applications for school places dogged the first day of school.

Motshekga and her deputy Enver Surty paid surprise visits to two schools in Bela Bela and were pleased with their readiness.

However, crowds of people arrived at schools across inland provinces hoping to register their children for the first time.

The Education Department subsequently urged parents to visit district offices instead, where they would be accommodated.
 
Simultaneously, Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane and Education MEC Barbara Creecy met with management at a newly-built school in Diepsloot.
 
The Itirele Zenzele Comprehensive High School is one of 13 new schools that opened it's doors.

Mokonyane reiterated that parents needed to get involved in their children's education and said the biggest problem experienced by Gauteng officials was late registration.

Creecy confirmed that there had been around 3,000 registrations in the province.

Speaking about the initiatives that were scheduled to be rolled out in 2012, Creecy said numeracy and literary programmes had been expanded in schools.
