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 />

document from the<br />

previous school with<br />

an affidavit stating<br />

why there is no<br />

transfer card.<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 />

Foreign children<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 />
