An Afrikaans high school in Fochville in western Gauteng is set to face off against the Gauteng Education Department in court next year.
The department has accused the school of implementing an unconstitutional language policy.
Hoërskool Fochville was forced to accommodate an English class this year because education officials claimed there was no space for pupils in neighbouring schools. But the school argues it is already filled to capacity, and says the department has ignored several alternatives it's proposed to solve the problem.
