ActionSA has tabled a motion in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature demanding the immediate rollout of a Dual Stream Grade 1 Admissions Model. The move follows a surge of complaints from parents whose children, already in Grade R at a school, risk being denied a place in Grade 1 at that same school. Under the current framework, Grade 1 is treated as an entry grade, forcing families to reapply and compete for a spot their child already occupies. ActionSA says the resulting administrative strain and family anxiety must end. The party is urging the MEC for Education to protect educational continuity by separating internal progression from external admissions. Elvis Presslin spoke to ActionSA Member of the Gauteng Legislature, John Moodey
