Dear Portfolio Committee on Basic Education,
Since the school reopened i have been daily to the office of education in the region of Ekurhuleni trying to get a space for my son who is going to grade 3, and I have been taken from pillar to post. The staff there are very unfriendly and useless, cannot even tell you which school they placed your kid. I am tired of waiting my son is loosing a lot, and the issue now is stressing him. He can't be sitting at home while other kids are going to school. I have applied on time, from September 2023, I had done applications up to December 2023.
