GDE Admissions 2022 Gauteng Opening Date
The GDE said it was impractical to continue with the new online admissions system.
“It is impractical for the department to continue with the current admissions process and we are therefore reverting back to manual processing,” it said.
It further noted that this had resulted in long queues at some centres, particularly those where there were no additional staff members to assist applicants during peak periods.
The GDE said it had been a challenge to migrate to a new online enrolment management system, which has been in the works for several years.
It said the current system was not working well and was not compatible with other systems like SARS, staff employment records and e-school attendance. The new system is working well, is compatible with other systems, expensive to develop and will provide better service delivery than its predecessor.
A new online enrolment management system has gone live.
The new online enrolment management system has gone live in Gauteng. The new School Management System (SMS) is available in all 11 of the official languages and allows schools to manage their student population, including:
- Enrolment
- Conduct of learners
- Attendance
- Fees payment management
It is available in all 11 official languages and can be accessed from any device.

The GDE has warned that there could still be some challenges as the system rolls out.
As the new system rolls out, the GDE has advised schools to contact their head office if they have any issues. The department is working with schools to address any challenges and make the system more user-friendly for schools and candidates alike.
Closing
The GDE has warned that there could still be some challenges as the system rolls out, but it remains confident that these issues will be resolved quickly.
