Bongani Education LTSM Solutions
The provision and management of learning and teaching support material (LTSM) is a national priority aimed at ensuring that every learner and teacher has access to the minimum set of core materials required to implement the National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12.
The DBE’s LTSM policy views the supply, usage and retention of LTSM to be a collaborative effort by all stakeholders in the LTSM sector supported by provincial officials, school administrators, teachers, learners and their parents.
It is from this departure point that Bongani Rainmaker has established a division dedicated entirely to understanding the LTSM environment and creating a scalable service solution aimed at supporting every aspect of this extensive value chain. On the face of it, ensuring that LTSM material including textbooks are delivered reliably seems a simple task. The reality however is that an extensive skills and resource base is required to project manage and co-ordinate this complex ecosystem of stakeholders and compliance regulations
Bongani Education have developed systems and processes that seamlessly handle the various stages involved in delivering provincial LTSM cycles. This includes managing the demand and supply chain aspects of the process which ensures that the needs of schools are determined, orders aggregated so that learning and teaching material can be sourced from manufacturers and delivered reliably to education institutions.
As with our other offerings, we handle every stage of the supply chain management process, from planning and procurement through to distribution. At every step, there is full management oversight and accountability of the entire process. Speciality education services now also include an EDTECH eLearning offering which has taken the a solution aggregation approach since no two eLearning implementations are the same.
