Tentative Date not yet announcedLate school admission applications for the 2027 school year
School admission for public schools in South Africa is managed by provincial education departments, not nationally. Each province runs its own online admission window, and the dates differ: Gauteng, the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and others publish separate application periods, usually closing between May and August of the preceding year. Parents who missed their province's window should contact the district office directly, because late placement is still possible where places exist.
