Flagship Technology Initiative
Transforming Education Through Artificial Intelligence
A South African-developed platform being built to digitise Teaching Practice, Work Integrated Learning and SACE compliance management through intelligent automation, geospatial optimisation and responsible AI.
The opportunity
A more intelligent national placement capability.
PlaceMeIQ is being designed to help institutions, schools, student educators and education stakeholders manage the complete placement journey more effectively.
The platform aims to replace fragmented and manual processes with a more transparent, equitable and data-informed capability.
A key objective is to improve access to suitable placement opportunities, particularly for students affected by location, transport challenges or limited institutional visibility.
The long-term ambition is to improve student experiences and deliver meaningful national education insights while helping universities, schools and education stakeholders coordinate placements more effectively.
Designed and developed in South Africa, PlaceMeIQ aims to demonstrate how responsible AI and human-centred technology can unlock opportunity across the education ecosystem.
