Dear Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor

Octavia Makhado has sent you the following message via People's Assembly (https://www.pa.org.za/)


Dear Minister
I would like to know how our kids are placed in schools, I applied
for my daughter the day applications were open, I then submitted
documents within 2 days after applying online. My daughters grades
are excellent and yet she was placed at a school that I do not
want her to attend. The school does not even have the extra
activities that my child partakes in. So I want to know WHY she
was placed to this particular school. What criteria did she not
meet? And I refuse to take her there, so does this mean my child
won't be in school next year and also is it that I can't afford a
private school means I should just agree to what the GDE says?
What happens now - How does the government assist us, as it says
"For the people"!!
