Process for 2022 GES inter-district reposting

Step 1: An Applicant seeks Assurance from their Region of choice through their Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education.

Step 2: After securing the assurance letter, the applicant then applies for Release from his/her current Metro/Municipal/District Education Office.

The Metro/Municipal/District Director writes a covering letter after the applicant has completed an inter-regional transfer form and attached all necessary documents (Eg. Current Payslip, Assurance Letter, Certificates, Bank Clearance)

Step 3: The Metro/Municipal/District Director forwards the applicant’s documents to the Regional Education Office for onward submission to the Director-General for final approval.
