Parents are still struggling with getting correct placement for their children in the relevant special schools. Reasons that are often given by schools are e.g. if a child is in the North West Province and the school is in Gauteng it is difficult for the child to be admitted because of the provincial budget issues, even if North West does not have the type of school that can be appropriate for the child. Another example is when language is used to exclude a child.We end up with number of children still at home because they cannot accommodated in schools.
