Have you submitted a school application to the Western Cape Education Department to more than one school? Here’s how you can track your public schools application status and the next steps you should take.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WCED Track Online Application<\/h2>\n

Once the\u00a0Western Cape Education Department (WCED)<\/strong>\u00a0closes their school admission application period, these applications are processed and considered. The department would also have a look at your supporting documents that went along with your application submitted for public schools placements.<\/p>\n

During this period, parents and guardians will want to know what’s happening with the admission application. Luckily for them, they can track it.<\/p>\n

WCED Admissions Login<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0WCED website<\/strong>\u00a0will\u00a0begin to display the outcome of the admission application process to inform parents as to whether their application has been successful or not. With a wide focus on education, Western Cape Education Department wants to make this process seamless and easy.<\/p>\n

Tracking your\u00a0WCED school application<\/strong>\u00a0is a straightforward process, thanks to the department’s online portal. By following these steps, you can stay informed about the status of your child’s school application and ensure that you are prepared for the next steps in the enrollment process by doing your WCED tracking.<\/p>\n

WCED Portal Login<\/h2>\n

Every year, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) opens\u00a0WCED admissions applications<\/strong>\u00a0for incoming grade 1 and grade 8 learners for the next school year. After applications close, parents wait to hear if their child got a school placement.<\/p>\n

Applying for Western Cape Education Department school admission is crucial and can\u00a0sometimes be an overwhelming process.\u00a0Fortunately, there is a way to fight rejected applications.<\/p>\n

The first step would be to\u00a0check your application status<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How To Track a WCED School Application – WCED Parent Login<\/h2>\n

To\u00a0track your application status<\/strong>, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

WCED ePORTAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the\u00a0WCED admissions website<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Log in with your WCED login using your username and password<\/li>\n
  3. Go to \u201cTrack Application Status”<\/li>\n
  4. Select the name of the learner and you will see the application status<\/li>\n
  5. Under \u201cApplication Status\u201d, it will inform the parent as to whether their application was a) Successful, b) Unsuccessful or c) Has been placed on the waiting list.<\/li>\n
  6. The parent must then either \u201cWithdraw\u201d or \u201cConfirm\u201d their application from the Western Cape Education Department<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There is a chance that when you check your application status, you will see that you’ve been rejected. This is why it’s important for parents and guardians to have applied at\u00a0more than one school and look at multiple primary schools.<\/p>\n

    What To Do If Your Child Didn’t Get A School Placement<\/h2>\n

    If your school application application status is rejected<\/strong>\u00a0by the Western Cape Education Department you can ask for a second chance by lodging an appeal via\u00a0e-mail<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0directly to the provincial Minister of Education.<\/p>\n

    For those who are yet to apply and don\u2019t know how and where to start, the WCED has put measures in place that these parents can follow.<\/p>\n

    If your child didn’t get any school offers, the department has said that thousands of places will still open up.<\/strong>\u00a0This applies to foreign learners as well.<\/p>\n

    Parents should then stay in touch with the schools they applied to and ask that the learner be placed on a waiting list. If you do not get a place at any school within the next few months, the WCED will assist with placement.<\/p>\n

    What To Do If You Missed The WCED Admissions Deadline<\/h2>\n

    The WCED usually allows for\u00a0late applications<\/strong>\u00a0and will then have a specific late applications period but what happens if you miss that period as well?<\/p>\n

    Luckily, there is still a chance for the child to be placed. Parents can still apply for WCED admission by completing a\u00a0learner placement form<\/a>\u00a0and submitting this at their education district office.<\/p>\n

    Head to the\u00a0WCED admissions website<\/a>\u00a0for more information on the\u00a0school admissions management information.<\/strong><\/p>\n
