LURITS includes unit-record data for each learner in South Africa, from Grade R through to Grade 12. The system also tracks each learner's movement from school to school. Individual educator records are also housed on LURITS. The LURITS system is dependent on receiving data from computerized school administration systems. Schools that do not have computerized school administration systems provide paper-based reports to the districts for uploading to LURITS. The dataset provided by DataFirst is the LURITS data, prepared as research-ready.","time_periods":[{"start":"2022","end":"2023","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2022","end":"2023","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"ZAF"}],"geog_coverage":"The data has national coverage","analysis_unit":"Individuals and establishments","universe":"The data covers Grade R to Grade 12 learners, as well as educators and schools in South Africa","data_kind":"Administrative records data [adm]","notes":"The data is input by school principals into the LURITS Module of the SA-SAMS"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Department of Basic Education","abbr":"DBE","role":"Data collection and processing","affiliation":"Government of South Africa"}],"frequency":"Data is input to the LURITS Module of the South African School Administration and Management System, SA-SAMS, four times per year","coll_mode":["Other [other]"]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"restrictions":"Research use only","contact":[{"name":"DataFirst Support","affiliation":"University of Cape Town","email":"support@data1st.org","uri":"support.data1st.org"}],"cit_req":"Users of the data must cite the data producer and DataFirst as the data distributor in any research publications based on the data","deposit_req":"Users of the data must send DataFirst a copy of or link to any publication based on the data","conditions":"Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial CC-BY-NC access and use license"}}},"schematype":"survey"}
