Higher Education & Basic Education

Teaching is hard enough. The compliance burden should not make it harder.

From university campuses to district school funding — we manage the technology and compliance infrastructure that lets South African education institutions focus on what they are actually there to do.

The challenges

What we hear most often.

The specific technology and compliance burdens this sector carries.

SETA evidence assembly consumes weeks of manual effort before every moderation visit.

Campus Wi-Fi fails under examination load — creating risk for online assessments and CBE.

Two separate vendor relationships for campus IT and the LMS means neither team owns the outcome.

Global LMS platforms require SETA, QCTO and B-BBEE compliance to be added as workarounds — not built in.

DHET HEMIS reporting creates a recurring data quality crisis for institutions on legacy student systems.

Basic Education: Most districts track school funding allocations and infrastructure projects in spreadsheets or disconnected systems, creating audit risk and NNSSF non-compliance.

Basic Education: Quintile tracking is manual, error-prone and fails to generate the DoRA-compliant conditional grant reports AGSA examiners expect.

The Sourceworx response

What we do about it.

Specific capabilities, deployed against the challenges this sector faces.

EDVantage: built for a SETA moderation visit

Formative assessments, summative evidence, learner portfolios, facilitator records and demographic reports generated automatically. Evidence complete before the moderator arrives.

Proprietary product

Campus network for peak load

High-density wireless design specifically for examination halls and lecture theatres. Tested against the concurrent device load of your largest examination sitting.

One SLA: campus IT and learning platform

Campus network, IT infrastructure and EDVantage managed under a single SLA. One number to call. One team accountable.

B-BBEE Element 6 evidence

EDVantage tracks skills development spend against learner demographic profiles and generates verification agency evidence automatically.

Proprietary product

Fiscal Focus: quintile tracking and NNSSF compliance

Fiscal Focus manages the complete district school funding lifecycle, calculating per-learner allocations by quintile, tracking spending against NNSSF norms and generating DoRA-compliant conditional grant reports.

Proprietary product

Audit-ready evidence as a natural output

Every payment run, approval workflow and bank detail verification is logged and version-controlled. When the Auditor General arrives, the evidence file is complete because the system required it to be captured at the time, not reconstructed under pressure.

Compliance and regulatory

We know the regulations.

We have been working within them for years, across every sector we serve.

SETA compliance

EDVantage generates grant claim evidence and learner portfolios automatically as programmes progress.

QCTO accreditation

NQF-aligned assessment structures and QCTO evidence templates built into EDVantage workflows.

B-BBEE Element 6

Demographic reporting and skills development evidence generated automatically for verification agencies.

DHET HEMIS

Statistical submission support with data quality validation against HEMIS requirements.

POPIA

Learner data governance aligned to POPIA — particularly relevant for minor learners in TVET environments.

NNSSF & DoRA — Basic Education

Fiscal Focus automates quintile-based fund allocation, tracks compliance with NNSSF norms and generates DoRA-compliant conditional grant reports throughout the budget cycle.

AGSA audit readiness

Dashboards and reports that give CFOs, EMIS Heads and Infrastructure Units full visibility across fund allocation, bank detail verification and payment status — in the format their reporting lines require.
