Meanwhile, in Kuils River, frustrated parents have voiced their disappointment, saying they feel let down by the education system. Many have been waiting for months for their children to be placed, but solutions have yet to be found.

The Western Cape Education Department has previously cited overcrowding and limited resources as key challenges in accommodating all learners. However, parents and education stakeholders are calling for urgent intervention to ensure that no child is left without access to education.

With the academic year well underway, pressure is mounting on authorities to resolve the crisis and provide solutions for affected pupils and their families.
