Legal action against WCED for failing late applicants

April 24, 2025

|

Cape Times

EQUAL Education (EE) and Equal Education Law Centre (EELC) want the Western Cape High court to declare the Western Cape Education Department's (WCED) failure to timeously place late applicant learners in school unconstitutional and in violation of their rights to dignity and equality, among others.

- MANYANE MANYANE

The matter is expected to be heard today. The organisations said the focus in this part of the case would be on the WCED’s policy and its failure to address late applications.

WCED spokesperson Bronagh Hammond said the department is opposing the matter and will address this in court. This is part of the case brought by EE and EELC over the placement of learners who applied late in the 2024 academic year.

The organisations took the WCED to court, seeking an urgent order to put unplaced learners in schools. The organisations also wanted catch-up plans for the learners after being admitted to ensure they meet the academic requirements for 2024.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa

THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
