The Eduplace Cross-Subsidy Model

School Classification

Not all schools are the same.
Neither is our pricing.

Pricing follows DBE quintile — five tiers, from free to premium.

South African classroom — teacher recruitment across every school tier
Tier 1
No-Fee Schools
DBE Quintile 1 & 2
● FREE PLACEMENT
Poorest-served communities. State-funded schools. Eduplace places teachers at no cost — subsidised entirely by our fee-paying partners.

Pro bono. No invoice, no fees — ever.

Tier 2
Low-Income Schools
DBE Quintile 3
● FREE PLACEMENT
Working-class communities. Nominal school fees. Placement is fully subsidised through Eduplace's cross-subsidy model.

Pro bono. Funded by private school placements.

Tier 3
Mid-Income Schools
DBE Quintile 4 & 5
● REDUCED FEE
Higher-income public schools. Some school fees charged. Placement at a reduced rate — partial revenue contributes to the pro bono fund.

Affordable placement. Supports our mission.

Tier 4
Private Schools
Independent / Private
● FULL FEE
Fully self-funded private schools. Standard placement fee applies. Revenue directly subsidises free placements at Tier 1 & 2 schools.

Your fee funds a free placement elsewhere.

Tier 5
Premium Independent
Elite Independent Schools
● PREMIUM FEE
Historically affluent, premium-brand schools. Premium placement fee. Largest single contributor to Eduplace's social impact fund.

Premium service. Maximum impact.
