LURITS
The Learner Unit Record Information and Tracking System (LURITS) aims to collect unit record data for each learner in the country from grade R through to Grade 12. The system also tracks the movement of each learner from school to school, even inter-provincial movements of learners can be traced. Each learner is to eventually be assigned with a unique learner tracking number which remains with the learner throughout their schooling.
Individual educator records are also housed on LURITS
The system has been developed by SITA. The system works with SA-SAMS which is run at a school level.
Submission of Data to LURITS
The LURITS system is dependent on receiving data from computerized school administration systems as the source for the unit record data of educators and learners. SA-SAMS (South African School Administration and Management System) is made available to all schools free of charge, giving equal access to a computerized administration system.
It is planned that Schools that do not have electronic school administration tools should be assisted to capture on LURITS using the LURITS capturing functionality.
Support
Each province has one or more dedicated LURITS administrators who are responsible for the ground level support and implementation of LURITS. A school can acquire assistance and services of these system administrators by contacting the district/province.
Targets
These are the target to be met for 2012-March 2013
