Update on the 2021 Online Admissions Applications

The Northern Cape Department of Education is hard at work to finalise the placement of learners by the end of the 2020 school academic year. We have introduced for the very first time the Online Admission System, which was open for applications from 14 September to 9 October 2020. During this period the Department received a total of 56 449 applications for the 2021 school academic year.

We regard the early enrolment of learners as a priority for the successful start of the school academic year. Over the years, the start of a new school academic year has become synonymous with parents queuing at schools and District offices, seeking placement for their children.  

Parents and Legal guardians who have applied, will receive a system generated sms from 16 November 2020 on the successful/unsuccessful placement of his/her child. Parents will be required to log on to the www.ncdoeadmissions.org website to either accept or decline the placement within 7 working days. Appeals must be lodged with the Office of the MEC and will only be considered if they are based on incorrect/unfair application criteria as set by the Head of Department.  

The Online Admission System is currently closed for admission applications in order to process the placement of learners. The Department will indicate to parents when the system will reopen to allow for late admissions.

End.
