to HEMIS for research, comparison at both national and international level, reporting purposes

• Multiple systems have been considered as data sources for this project: HEQC-online, HEQF-online, DHET audit reports, DHET annual survey, HEQCIS

• Technical sub-team will propose amendments to the current HEQCIS data requirements to effect maximum data capture with minimal disruption to the on-going institutional processes

• Data may include additional institutional and student info, and staff info
