Paraphrase the following

Efforts by previously disadvantaged parents to enrol their children in these schools are often futile. Children in townships and rural areas are unable to access such schools because of gatekeeping policies, which continue to prioritise pupils who reside in the area in which the school is situated. It is not a coincidence that many previously disadvantaged pupils live far from former Model C schools.

Efforts made by parents who have faced disadvantages in the past to enroll their children in these schools are often unsuccessful. Children living in townships and rural areas face barriers in accessing these schools due to gatekeeping policies that prioritize students living nearby. It is not a coincidence that many disadvantaged students live far away from former Model C schools.
