Dear Colleagues Compliments of the New Season! Please kindly take note of the information below just in case there a pupils who might need assistance in terms of getting into a institution of higher learning. The Department of Higher Education and Training is operating the Central Application Clearing House (called “CACH”) once again in 2014. The CACH Call Centre and website went live on 7 January 2014 when the public school matriculation results were released. The CACH service is for learners who qualify for higher education studies but have not been accepted at an institution of their choice at the time the matric results were released. It is also for those learners who did not apply before the closing dates last year and now find that they are eligible for higher education studies. Learners looking for spaces in the university education system can contact the call centre on 0860-35-66-35 or send an SMS with their name and ID number to 49-200. They will be telephoned back free of charge. They can also access the system via the website: cach.dhet.gov.za . The CACH service will verify the learner’s information and forward it to institutions that still have unfilled places. Where places exist and applicants meet the requirements, institutions will contact students to offer them available places. The 2014 CACH service is also geared to provide information to assist anyone interested in pursuing further education and training opportunities. Learners will also be offered free career advice and be guided through possible alternate options at FET Colleges. Regards
