Thousands of Cape Town parents are battling to get their children into a public high school next year.

Earlier this month thousands of parents in Cape Town received notification from the Western Cape department of education that their child had not been granted a grade 8 place in any of up to five schools they had applied to, as all the schools were “over-subscribed”.

“His primary school teachers and coaches are absolutely gobsmacked that he didn’t get in. It’s insane.” Wynberg Boys' High School and Wynberg Girls' High School have sent notifications to parents whose applications were unsuccessful, asking if they would be interested in their children attending a new online school next year.

“Teachers developed new skills and many parents and students have reported this style of teaching and learning to be to their liking.”
