Primary Education
Secondary Education
The SNAP Survey of Ordinary Schools collects data from all schools in South Africa each year. The data forms part of the national Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) database used to inform education policymakers and managers in the Department of Basic Education and the Provincial education departments, as well as to provide valuable information to external stakeholders. For example, data from schools in the survey is used to compile and maintain the Master List of Schools in the country for education planning purposes.
South Africa
The survey has national coverage
The data is at the level of town/nearest town to the school enumerated.
The units of analysis in the survey are schools in South Africa and their staff and learners
The survey covers all Ordinary Schools in South Africa, both Public and Independent. In some data collection years information on special needs education schools was collected and is included in this data set
Census/enumeration data [cen]
Other [oth]
Data is collected with a survey questionnaire and educator forms. The principle completes the survey questionnaire and each educator (both state paid and other) in each school completes an educator form. Schools record their EMIS number provided by the DBE on the questionnaire and form for identification.
Data provided on the hard copy questionnaires are captured at provincial level in the data capture process
