 A group of parents are waiting desperately outside the Hoerskool Akasia in Theresa Park in Pretoria North to demand placement for their children. Some have been coming to the school since Monday after applying online last year but are still awaiting a reply from the Gauteng Department of Education. The Department says some parents have rejected the placement offered citing distance and other reasons. Parents are calling on the department to improve or do away with the online application system for grade 1 and 8 learners.
