Department can’t appeal court order – Fedsas | News Article

Johannesburg - The Gauteng Education Department says it is unhappy with the order issued yesterday in the Johannesburg high court.

The department was ordered to take schools' admission and language policies into account, when dealing with admission of pupils for 2016.
The Federation of Governing Bodies of SA Schools (Fedsas) applied to halt the department's centralised admissions process and its plan to convert single-medium schools to parallel-medium schools.
 
The department has since indicated that it intends on appealing the order. Fedsas’ Jaco Deacon however says this is not possible.

Meanwhile, AfriForum has also welcomed the ruling. Carien Bloem says it's a step in the right direction.
