Education Technology in South Africa – its time for an EdTech Centre

In the ever-evolving landscape of offering education in the 21st century, Education Technology (EdTech) has taken the front seat in ensuring that South African students have access to quality education that prepares them for the future. The myriad of hardware and software solutions currently on offer are of course essential in the recipe to successfully growing with the times to improve teaching and learning outcomes, address inequality, and enhance efficiency across all nature of education institutions.

Having access to live demonstrations and workshops is crucial for education institutions in South Africa, to keep up with the latest technological developments and understand how to implement, use, and roll out the new age of education tools. Attending a demonstration that show the merits of the hardware and software – live – affords a valuable opportunity to all departments in education to see first-hand the latest innovations and advancements on offer, from early foundation phases right through to higher education.
