As the new school year starts on Wednesday, several Gauteng parents say they are facing mounting anxiety after their children were placed at schools far from their homes, despite applying on time through the online admissions system.
Parents interviewed say their children were allocated schools that are between eight and 15km away from their homes after nearby schools reached capacity.
Im crying every day. My child is an above-average learner, getting over 80. Im sitting here wondering how Im going to fail her because I cant find a closer school.
