42. What if my child is not offered a place? Is there a waiting list?

If your child is not selected for the admission in 6e, your child will be allocated to their school in their catchment area (secteur).

The waiting list is controlled by the Rectorat but it is not made readily available, either to the school administration or parents. You will be contacted by the Rectorat if a place is made available.
