(ii) The measures in place to ensure that more schools apply SA-SAMS as their primary reporting tool are as follows:
- From 2017 onwards, all paper surveys are phased out and data are collected through SASAMS only. The operational data will be collected and submitted with a signed off principal report.
- Schools using 3rd Party systems are to run SASAMS parallel to their existing systems.
- New schools are provided with the SA-SAMS software.
- Some has managed to secure the support of EDUPAC, SMART Software, Principal Primary, and Pencil Box to provide with an SA-SAMS database. The Principal Group would then assist their clients to “export” data from the primary application into SA-SAMS and thereby generate an SA-SAMS database. The created SA-SAMS database needs to be data cleaned and then can be deployed. Once deployed successfully, the database will run the locally developed extractor tool to upload the deployed database into the provincial warehouse.
- Recruitment and training for SASAMS personnel will be carried out.
- Some provinces have already issued circulars to schools to provide data in SA-SAMS format.
The inputs below were sourced from Western Cape:
- Currently 11 Western Cape (WC) schools are using SA-SAMS to varying degrees (8 of these schools attended a training session last year convened jointly by WCED and DBE).
- The WCED utilizes a provincial administration management system, CEMIS on a wide-scale to facilitate data collection for the various provincial business processes and to meet the requirements of gazette 29757. In the Western Cape, all public schools use CEMIS (primarily for maintaining learner tracking) and most schools use a mix of bespoke and proprietary Schools Administration Management Systems (SAMS) to manage their day to day operations.
