No Fee School classification
Current provincial and national records provide a strong objective eligibility signal.
Important: The school must be present in the applicable current record; classification does not guarantee immediate program capacity.SchoolsOut Safety Access
Safety Access for verified South African schools
A clear pathway built around official EMIS identity, school quintiles and current No Fee School records—while keeping approval and cohort capacity explicit.
Objective evidence
Signals that can support an eligibility review
An official signal begins the assessment. It does not replace institution verification, workflow fit or available cohort capacity.
School quintile
Official quintile data provides additional socio-economic context for a public school.
Important: Quintile data must be read from current official records and interpreted with the responsible education authority.EMIS identity
The national or provincial EMIS number helps verify the exact school.
Important: Identity alone does not establish eligibility; it connects the review to the correct institution.Initial evidence
What to prepare before applying
- National or provincial EMIS number
- Current No Fee School or quintile evidence
- Province, district and school phase
- Current learner population or proposed cohort
- A defined dismissal, transport or guardian-handoff workflow

Partners receive aggregate impact reporting only. No private child data, parent information or individual movement history is shared.
Practical questions
Before an institution applies
Do all quintile 1–3 schools qualify automatically?
No automatic promise is made. Current official records are strong evidence, but SchoolsOut verifies identity, proposed use, operational fit and available capacity.
Will a sponsor see learner pickup data?
No. Sponsors may receive aggregate coverage and adoption reporting. They never receive learner names, parent details, individual journeys or handoff records.
