Trouble for online schools in South Africa

Several notable online schools in South Africa have shut down over quality concerns and a ‘lack of support’.

Valenture Institute, a partner of the online school with St Stithians, noted that the new type of schools are struggling due to the increase in online schools in the country. At the same time, many parents have decided to revert to conventional schooling after the Covid-19 pandemic. Umalusi said it was working with the South African Police Service to clamp down on institutions issuing students with fake letters bearing the Umalusi logo, which are purported to be legitimate registration letters.This accused a stir among parties of interest in the online school space in the country, and several schools had to issue statements clarifying the confusion and concerns raised over online qualifications.

Sacai CEO Keith Maseko said that 39 distance education providers were registered with them to write the matric exams. Confidence Dikgole, CEO of the Independent Examinations Board , said nine online schools and one distance education provider registered with them.
