KwaZulu-Natal, September 5 - Schools in the province are no longer prioritising pupils from surrounding neighborhoods.

A new, first-come, first-served admissions policy now permits pupils from outside school districts to be considered for enrollment, ahead of those living in the school area - as long as they apply early. 

Previously, children who did not reside in the school district were often turned away. Education Minister Senzo Mchunu says the policy challenges unfair admissions practices and puts pupils first. 

But the National Teachers Union (NATU) says it could have dire consequences for township schools.
