A planning guide. Eastern Cape Department of Education decides applications and placements; confirm your child’s instructions with the department.

How it works

We use Eastern Cape Department of Education’s own pages, circulars and notices. Every date stays with its school intake year. Dates for the previous intake are reference only.

Application dates may change. Use the department link for the current form and instructions. No personal details are collected on this page.
