About This Policy
This Editorial Policy explains how SETA creates, reviews and updates content.
SETA publishes education, student, skills development and career-related information intended to be useful to readers in South Africa.
Our Editorial Principles
Accuracy
We aim to verify important factual information before publication.
Clarity
We present information in a straightforward format so readers can understand requirements, dates and other important details.
Relevance
Our content focuses on information that may be useful to students, learners, graduates and people seeking education or career opportunities.
Transparency
Where appropriate, we identify the organisation or source associated with information.
Corrections
When we identify a factual error, we investigate and correct it according to our Corrections Policy.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently from commercial considerations.
Headlines
SETA aims to create informative headlines that accurately represent the content of an article.
We avoid intentionally misleading headlines, fabricated claims and headlines that promise information that is not contained in an article.
Sponsored Content
Where content is sponsored, paid for or otherwise commercially influenced, SETA aims to distinguish that content from independent editorial material.
Use of Technology and AI
Technology and artificial intelligence tools may be used as part of the content production process where appropriate.
However, technology does not replace editorial responsibility.
Published information remains subject to editorial review and correction where necessary.
Updates
Articles may be updated when important information changes, including application deadlines, eligibility requirements, programme details or other significant information.
