Die Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdepartement (WKOD) het alle voornemende Graad Eenen Graad R-leerders in die streek 'n suksesvolle begin van hul leerreis toegewens. Ten spyte van uitdagings wat deur laat aansoeke gebied word, werk WKOD-personeel en skole hard om leerders te plaas en te verseker dat alle klasse beman word.
Terwyl die presiese aantal nuwe Graad Een-leerders in George nog bevestig moet word, sal 'n 10-dae lange vinnige opname amptelike syfers verskaf.
