However, if these<br />
documents are not<br />
available, the child<br />
must be provisionally<br />
registered until such<br />
time as the documents<br />
can be obtained.<br />
<br />
if a learner has not<br />
been immunised, the<br />
principal must advise<br />
the caregiver on how<br />
to get the learner<br />
immunised<br />
<br />
learner does not have<br />
a transfer card from<br />
the previous school,<br />
then the caregiver<br />
must produce a report<br />
card or any other<br />

Admission<br />
to public<br />
schools<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>eign<br />
children<br />
Schools must admit<br />
<strong>and</strong> register children<br />
whose parents are in<br />
possession of a permit<br />
<strong>for</strong> temporary or<br />
permanent residence.<br />
The admission laws<br />
<strong>and</strong> policies ii apply<br />
equally to children<br />
that are South African<br />
citizens as to children<br />
whose parents are in<br />
possession of a permit<br />
<strong>for</strong> temporary or<br />
permanent residence.<br />
This includes <strong>for</strong>eigners<br />
who have applied <strong>for</strong><br />
temporary residence,<br />
but have not yet<br />
received it.<br />
Targeted beneficiaries<br />

Children of refugees<br />
Enrolment requirements<br />
Parents of non-South<br />
African citizen learners<br />
must produce the child’s<br />
parents’ temporary or<br />
permanent residence<br />
permit. If they have<br />
not yet received their<br />
permits, they must<br />
produce proof of<br />
application to the<br />
DoHA to legalise their<br />
residency in South<br />
Africa. iii<br />
No <strong>for</strong>eign learner<br />
may be denied<br />
admission to a school<br />
due to insufficient<br />
documentation. So if<br />
the child’s parents have<br />
not yet applied <strong>for</strong> their<br />
permits, they must be<br />
admitted pending such<br />
an application.<br />
