South Africa: Smart boards and smart kids
It's widely recognised that this country lags behind in effective maths, science and technology teaching. Too few teachers and too few resources compound the problem. The result is learners leaving school without the ICT skills essential in today's marketplace. St Alban's College in Pretoria is one of the schools in this country that is determined to share its resources, assist with science education and change the lives of those learning in under-resourced schools. Led by Ron Beyers, the Ulwazi E-learning Project harnesses ICT and brings it directly to those who need it. The Mamelodi Broadband E-Learning Pilot Project, sponsored by the Department of Communications, has completed its first three months. Key partners include Motorola and OMEGA Digital Technologies.
