Applying to Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) Admissions Online Application for Grade 1 and Grade 8 in Gauteng Public Schools can be daunting, but taking a step by step approach will allow you to succeed.
The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has now opened the 2020 online application system for Grade 1 and Grade 8 learners on Monday, 20 May 2019 and here are the step-by-step guide to apply online for GDE Admissions 2020:
STEP 1: ENTER PARENT DETAILS
1. To apply parents need to access the web address: http://www.gdeadmissions.gov.za to be on the “Welcome to Admissions Online Application for 2020” page. Parents are required to read the information on the Welcome Page and click on Apply for 2020 to access Terms and Conditions. Parent clicks continue after reading the Terms and Conditions to proceed with the application
To proceed with the application, click on Apply for 2020.
2. A first-time user (parent) will be required to click “Apply for 2020” button to enter parent information before making an application (ALL users must create new credentials)
3. The “Enter Parent Information” form will pop-up and parent should complete all compulsory fields indicated by a star (an asterix). The address fields contain Municipality; City/Town; Suburb/Township; street name and number. The parent’s cell phone number is compulsory as this number will be used by the Department to communicate with the parents regarding the application. The Landline and Email fields are not compulsory.
3. ID numbers are validated with the Department of Home Affairs, therefore after entering a valid South African ID number, the system will automatically populate the names associated with the ID number. Parents are therefore reminded to keep the parent’s ID and learner ID at hand when making an application.
5. A Username and Password will be created by the parent to login and access the main application as a User. The Password must be eight (8) characters long consisting of a Capital Letter, Small Letters, Numbers and a Special Character, for example, P@ss2019.
6. A SMS is sent to the parent, providing his/her login username and password. Please
keep this information for queries relating to your application
7. After submitting STEP 1, the application will automatically proceed to STEP 2 (ENTER LEARNER DETAILS) and the colour of STEP 1 will change to GREEN

Defenitly apartheid has resurface in a new format , our children must seek placement beyond borders and our taxes are reserved for few because Panyaza has not perfected this registration system, thank u exile is alternative.
I received an sms that my child was accepted at Bedford View High. Visited. The schools I applied for were apparently full hence Bedford View was used for the placement. I visited the school yesterday 😭… 1. The school is far. 2 The school’s classrooms looked very neglected. 3 Level of professional conduct received from reception was a disaster. What does a person do in this case? Is the a process that one can follow for change of placement?
Please advise 🙏
I’m looking for a space for grade R learner.
Which procedure must I follow. Please assist.
Still waiting for my daughter to place,I’m thinking of take my child to gde to make a sit inn now is November we must be organising school uniform not this
I submitted an objective form last week how long must I wait for a response
My child has been accepted at wrong school what must I do.
the application was done on the 20 05 2019 at 10-00
but till today my child is not placed
I applied on time for my daughter to the same school that she is doing grade R. The reason for grade R at the same school was to ensure the child is ready for the routine and level of that school. Now my daughter has been placed at a school we didn’t apply to. No explanation of how did the Department come to such decision.This is a frustrating process.All our plans as parents for our kids education are shattered.This is very frustrating and disappointing from the Department of education.
Im so frustrated i dont know where my child will go next year.This online regitration is failing us parents n our children…..please take us out of this misery I’m waiting for second registration please notify us when it’s opened
This website is not working please help

Not happy my child is been accepted to the school that I didn’t even apply for and it’s way far won’t even afford the transport that’s gonna take him there what are the possibilities of appealing the government is failing us really

I’m soo frustrated my child has not been placed ,please advice what I must I do. He is going to do grade 8.
Am very worried my child has not been placed ,l have not yet received the SMS.He is going to grade 8.what must l do?
This placement is not fair i applied early and i need my child to be placed in my area no where else
and the nearest school because no transport will end up paying for placement it goes there
Hi I’m constantly trying to register for my daughter whose going to grade 8 with no luck this system is really not working for me
This new registration process doesn’t give us any freedom to take our kinds to the place where we want them to attend school, now my child has been accepted to the school which I didn’t even apply. The worse part they don’t offer the home language which my child is doing. Are they expecting my child to start over with a language?
This online system a whole lot of bullshit.I applied the first day there started with this online system.Only today a message comes in for my kid to be given at a place of a school I’m not happy with at all.Already my kid is in this school I feel once the kid is in e school then already there should proceed to the next grade.One thing there dont realise this is going to affect kids there already use to being in that school.Now must start thinkin of new uniforms and also have to now change transport route. I hope that the minister is reading this I’m really pissed off.
My child is being placed at wrong school…worse of it at the wrong area…What must i do.Im getting frustrated because hes graduating this weekend.
