My School > Learners > Learners

Purpose of feature

The Department of Basic Education requires schools to submit learner data via LURITS and CEMIS regularly. d6 generates the required export files, but each learner record must be complete and accurate for the export to succeed.

Mandatory fields for compliance

  • Ethnicity: Required for all learners. The system will flag this if missing during export.

  • Gender: Required for all learners. The system will flag this if missing during export.

  • ID number: Required for SA citizens. Validated against birth date and gender digits (7–10).

  • Home language: Required for Departmental reporting.

  • LSEN weight: Must reflect the correct value for learners with special educational needs.

System behaviour

  • During export, d6 flags learner records with missing mandatory fields. Resolve these before submitting to the Department.

  • Learner records with missing ethnicity or gender will not be included in the export until corrected.

Frequently asked questions

Which fields are mandatory for LURITS/CEMIS export?

Ethnicity, gender, ID number (SA citizens), home language, and LSEN weight are all required. The system flags missing fields during export.

Why is a learner being excluded from the LURITS export?

The most common reason is a missing mandatory field — typically ethnicity or gender. Open the learner's record, complete the missing fields, and re-run the export.

Does d6 validate ID numbers automatically?

Yes. For SA citizens, d6 validates the ID number against the learner's birth date and gender digits (positions 7–10). An error will display if the ID number does not match.
