Introduction
SA-SAMS is acronym for “South African School and Administration Management” that is an electronically integrated application that is cost effective and user friendly that offers many and varied used and advantages to schools.
SA-SAMS has a strong EMIS focus to assist schools in the completion of the Annual School Survey and therefore also meets the identified needs of the Education Department, at Circuit, District and Provincial level in the gathering of data from schools that informs decision making at all of these levels.

Purpose
Many schools were using different management applications for different school functions e.g. schools were using a financial package to control the school finances, a separate timetabling package to do timetables and class lists were being manually generated.
This resulted in the same data being input into three or more separate systems and all these systems needed to be updated every time a change occurred.

|
SA SAMS was therefore developed to provide schools with a cost effective, easy to use and fully integrated computer solution containing all aspects of school management requirements.
It also incorporates a Timetabling Assistant to assist the schools with the complicated task of allocating educators to subjects to classes.
