NETWORK: NETWORK AND SUB-NETWORKS
National and Regional Networks

Introduction

Developing networks is important in order to share insights and learn how to support student success better regionally (by leveraging local leaders in student success) and nationally to help set a national agenda and co-ordinate and integrate the local networks.

For the regional networks, six leader institutions co-ordinate and provide support to local institutions to enhance student success. Siyaphumelela Partner and Associate universities lead six national regions (Eastern and Western Cape, Central, KwaZulu-Natal, and Northern and Southern Gauteng). All South African Higher Education instituitions can participate in the bi-annual regional meetings to discuss issues related to student succes.
