Frequently asked questions
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. An error will display if the ID number does not match.
