XASA EDU

Xasa Edu is a bursary and learnership marketplace that connects Learners, Institutions and Funders. Xasa Edu captures Academic Performance Monitoring & Reporting and helps funders identify talent for internship and employment opportunities.

“BACKGROUND:

Following the ‘Fees Must Fall’ demonstrations and the presidential announcement regarding free higher education in 2017, South African government has looked to the private sector to raise the required higher education funding. This movement led to an amendment in the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice. The changes, which came into play from 1 December 2019 entail the following:

  • A sub-element for Bursaries was created with key targets:
    • Target of 2.5% of leviable amount
    • 4 available points.

 

  •  Scholarships to now be included as part of Bursaries
  • Skills Development Expenditure target reduced from 6% to 3.5%
  • Available points reduced from 8 to 6.

 

 The above amendment raises four key challenges for the private sector in order to respond to the above amendment. They are highlighted in the graphic below:

Xasa EDU is a marketplace that has been designed to meet the above-mentioned business challenges. By connecting the Learner, the Institution and bursary/learnership Funder in a single ecosystem. This online-based, free solution is easily accessible to all parties involved and offers the following benefits:

 

FOR LEARNERS:

  • Storing of base profiles (and supporting documents) for Learners required to apply for a place in an Academic Institution, as well as apply for student funding.
  • All documents are inspected by the Galelo team to meet quality standards.

 

 FOR INSTITUTIONS:

  • Institutions can directly upload the Learner’s academic performance and progress.
  • Confirmation of Learner’s acceptance is captured by the Academic Institution itself.

 

FOR FUNDERS:

  • Funders can identify Learners for Internship and Employment opportunities directly.
  • The system links each Learner to an acceptance, by an Academic Institution, to the bursary funding to protect the Funder’s funds from misuse.

 

Furthermore, all necessary data for reporting purposes is maintained on the system and reporting can be generated directly on Xasa EDU.
