The Education Pulse Survey: What South Africans Really Think About Our Schools
Purpose: Purpose: This survey captures the views of South Africans on the state of education in the country. Education is seen as the key to the future, yet persistent challenges like crumbling infrastructure, teacher shortages, and curriculum debates continue to reinforce cycles of poverty and inequality. We want to know: how do you rate the quality of education? Do you believe the system prepares youth for the job market? What is the most critical issue facing our schools? Do you know about the challenges teachers face? Where do you get your information about education? Target Audience: South African adults (18+)

The Entrepreneur Survey: "The Unseen Engine"
Purpose: Purpose: This survey goes deep into the mind of the SA entrepreneur—the self-starter, the job creator, the person who wakes up every day to build something from nothing. The results will produce a publication that forces government, brands, and funders to confront uncomfortable truths about where support is failing and where real opportunity exists.

Rocks
What are Rocks?
Rocks are Dootsa's thank-you rewards — the balance you earn for sharing your view and spend on vouchers, airtime, gift cards, and partner items in the rewards shop.
How you earn Rocks
You collect Rocks when you complete surveys, hit streak milestones, refer friends, and unlock tier bonuses. Every survey shows how many Rocks you'll earn before you start.
How you spend Rocks
Spend Rocks in the shop on airtime, vouchers, gift cards, and partner rewards — subject to availability (Terms §6). Your tier is based on lifetime Rocks earned; spending Rocks never lowers your tier.
Rocks are not cash and cannot be withdrawn. They are promotional thank-you rewards under our Terms of Service.
