The legacy SA-SAMS system was designed as a stand-alone desktop application, limiting the efficiency, accuracy, and speed needed in a modern education environment.
The SA-SAMS Modernisation Programme is transforming the system into a secure, real-time, integrated, and user-friendly platform that supports digital-era education management.
What the new SA-SAMS will enable:
- Faster, validated, real-time data for planning and decision-making
- A modern interface that is easier for teachers and administrators to use
- Seamless integration with other government systems
- Reduced workloads through automation and elimination of duplications
A more reliable, efficient, and accurate system that strengthens data-driven planning and improves service delivery across the sector.
Key Objectives of the Modernised SA-SAMS
1. Real-Time Data
Validated, up-to-the-minute information for effective planning, monitoring, and policy development.
2. Modern User Experience
A clean, intuitive interface designed for ease of use at school, district, and provincial levels.
3. Secure Interoperability
Integrated, standards-based data exchange with national and provincial systems.
4. Reduced Administrative Burden
Automation that frees educators from repetitive manual processes.
