Update: The SA New Express originally falsely reported that three-quarters of TEFA applicants were currently in private school based on misleading data from a disreputable organization. We explained why that was wrong. The data included over 50,000 applicants who were not enrolled in any school in the ‘24-25 school year, but were wrongly assumed to go to private school because they “did not go to public school.“ The SA News Express has updated their story. In attempt to save face, they are excluding tens of thousands of applicants in their analysis by limiting it to “school age children” so they can still get a big number (71%). But if you include all applicants, the data shows that less than 50% went to a private or homeschool in ‘24-25.
