Private school operator Curro has not ruled out lower fees for Gauteng state school pupils who enrol at its institutions.

The confusion arose around enrolment of pupils in grades 1 and 8 that the Federation of Governing Bodies of South African Schools blamed on a shortage of schools.

Gauteng's online registration system has been dogged by problems. Asked why his department persisted with a system that all other provinces managed without, Lesufi said it prevented schools from"gatekeeping" by turning away children whose parents could not afford fees. All provinces that responded to questions from the Sunday Times said they were short of classrooms, and some said storm damage had exacerbated the problem

According to the Mpumalanga education department's website, 314 grade 1 pupils in Mbombela, 364 grades 1-4 pupils from Steve Tshwete and 214 grade 1 and 200 grade 8 pupils from Emalahleni were still unplaced.
