The GDE says parents play a role in delays in placing their children in Grades 1 and 8.
By Saturday, almost 1 500 pupils were not placed as schools prepared to reopen on Monday.
Some parents complained that the schools their children are placed at are far.
The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) says it is experiencing serious challenges with the admission of Grade 1 and 8 pupils - not because of its systems, but because of spaces at schools which parents prefer.
