South African Private Higher Education (SAPHE)

Since its inception, SAPHE has provided South Africa’s leading private higher education institutions a platform to address common needs and promote shared interests, while fostering a level and conducive operating environment for higher education to thrive. The association consists of voluntary members with a shared goal and purpose - to promote the role, reputation and interests of the country’s private higher education providers and shine a spotlight on the impact that these institutions have on South Africa’s broader education landscape.

SAPHE aims to provide a strong, focused, and coordinated voice, speaking to the interests of Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) and their position with regard to South Africa’s legislative, regulatory and compliance frameworks; frameworks that promote the development of a robust and resilient private higher education sector in the country and globally.

South African Business School Association (SABSA)

SABSA aims to do two things. The first is to strengthen ties with the business fraternity and the education sector as a whole. The second is to improve the recognition of the organisation as a representative of SA business schools with government and regulatory bodies. SABSA’s twenty-two-member business schools offer MBA or MBL programmes accredited by the South African Council on Higher Education (CHE) and are spread geographically around South Africa (many with satellite offices in major centres) offering full-time, part-time, modular or executive MBA and MBL programmes. 

National Association of Distance Education and Open Learning in South Africa (NADEOSA)
