Of all public schools in South Africa, 63.5% don't have a computer room. In the Eastern Cape this figure is 87%. Only 11% of EC schools have internet for teaching&learning and only 20% nation wide. But hey, bring on #4IR, coding and robotics...

“Why focus on reading? Reading is a marker. In countries where reading is happening, numeracy & socio emotional #skills are also happening. Reading is highly correlated w/ other things we care about” -Jaime Saavedra at EducationWorldForum #ewf2020

"Our schools are public institutions that must answer to the standards of a new constitutional order." Thank you Eusebius McKaiser for prioritising the difficult conversations that need to happen to enable real changes in our schools.
