Erongo school seat scramble for 2027 restarts

The Erongo Directorate of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture has relaunched applications for 2027 pre-primary and Grade 1 admissions, following the suspension of the initial registration process earlier this month.

Erongo Regional Council chief regional officer Sem Ntelamo at a media briefing yesterday said the registration process was suspended to allow education authorities to assess available school infrastructure and develop a fairer placement strategy in response to the high demand for school places.

He said the review considered the number of available classrooms, schools currently under construction and enrolment demand to ensure available spaces are allocated equitably.
