Gauteng parents and guardians who have children in Grade 7 at public schools in the province, going to Grade 8 in 2022 have until Friday, 3 September to apply for their admission. 
The Phase 1 application process began on 10 August 2021 and so far, close to 250,000 applications had been successfully logged on the system. 
Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi reminded parents and guardians to furnish the schools they applied for with the required documents.
