The Advanced Diploma in School Leadership and Management at Sol Plaatje University is a postgraduate qualification designed for practising teachers and school leaders who wish to develop their capacity to lead and manage South African schools effectively. The programme builds competencies in educational leadership, school governance, financial management, human resources, curriculum management, and community engagement — equipping graduates to drive school improvement and learner performance in diverse and challenging contexts. Given the Northern Cape's urgent need for skilled school leaders in rural and township schools, this qualification carries particular regional significance.
Admission requires an approved Bachelor's degree at NQF Level 7 or an appropriate 360-credit exit NQF Level 6 Diploma. Applicants must have passed subjects related to management and obtained an average of at least 60% in the qualifying qualification. RPL is applied per University policy.
