Gauteng | Spotlight on learner placements

The Gauteng Education Department has taken a hard line against corruption, as it moves into the placement phase of the 2027 learner admissions process.

Gauteng Education MEC Lebogang Maile says learner placement cannot be bought and anyone attempting to manipulate the process will face consequences.
