Curro Holdings has asked parents and guardians of foreign national learners to submit updated immigration documents to their schools.
According to IOL, the private education group sent a notice to families as part of what it called a “Termly Foreign Learner Compliance Audit”.
The group said the process is aimed at keeping school records up to date and aligned with Department of Home Affairs requirements.
What Parents Need to Submit
In the notice, Curro asked families of foreign national learners to provide the latest valid immigration documents.
The documents listed include study visas, asylum seeker permits, refugee permits, proof of permanent residence and proof of diplomatic appointment, where applicable.
Curro said the audit is meant to support accurate record-keeping for foreign learners enrolled at its schools.
The group also said the process forms part of regulatory compliance.
Why the Audit Matters
The request comes as South Africa continues to debate immigration enforcement and documentation checks.
Schools and other institutions are facing growing attention over how they verify the legal status of foreign nationals accessing services, including education.
Curro has not said that learners who do not comply will be immediately removed.
However, IOL reported that audits of this kind are commonly used by schools to verify eligibility for continued enrolment and to ensure institutions comply with national rules.
Curro Holdings operates a large network of private schools across South Africa.
The group serves thousands of learners through its independent education system.
For parents, the latest notice means documentation will need to be checked and submitted where required.
The key point is simple: foreign national learners enrolled at Curro schools are now being asked to prove their immigration status as part of the group’s compliance drive.
