⚖️ Procedural Fairness in School Admissions

This month, Hanlie du Plessis, Legal Officer at FEDSAS, explores the importance of procedural fairness in school admission decisions.

Her article highlights a recent Western Cape High Court judgment, emphasising that parents must be given a real and meaningful opportunity to appeal admission decisions that affect their children.

A valuable reminder that in education law, a fair process is just as important as a fair outcome.
