South Africa’s major telecommunications companies are expected to help expedite a new online system at schools in South Africa as part of an agreement to access valuable spectrum, says communications minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

“All learners in public schools, from Grade R to Grade 12 and those in community colleges have an email address with applicable security features and digital signatures,” she said. In January 2022, Basic Education minister Angie Motshekga said her department is developing a new framework to help regulate the rise of online schools in South Africa.

“The purpose of the framework is to address the policy gap and provide guidance on the procedure for the establishment of an online school,” she said. “The framework has been shared with provincial education departments for input and comments before it can be distributed to other stakeholders.”
