DIGITAL REVOLUTION FOR 17 EASTERN CAPE SCHOOLS |
|
Learners and teachers of 17 Earstern Cape schools now have access to the latest news, online encyclopaedias, a dictionary in multiple languages, e-mail, curriculum based worksheets and a host of other teaching and learning tools, thanks to the Streetwise resource centre kits donated to them by the MultiChoice Fort Hare Inkwenkwezi Trust.
Mr Mthunzi Nziweni, principal of Siyabonga Senior Secondary School near Alice, said "These devices are already helping all of us. Before we did not have access to the internet nor secure storage for computers. Now our learners are able to do their research here at the school and they have also created their own e-mail addresses. Having e-mail access is also a great help for us as educators, because it allows us to interact with others in our field to share resources. We have started a partnership with a school in Manchester in the UK, but I had to go to the University of Fort Hare every time I wanted to e-mail them. Now it will be much easier for us to communicate with each other, thanks to these new Streetwise devices."

EASTERN CAPE PUPILS ECSTATIC ABOUT NEW SCHOOL SHOES |
|
Walking to school will be easier for 80 learners from Siseko Senior Secondary school in Debe Nek in the Eastern Cape now that they have received brand new leather school shoes courtesy of the Bobs for Good Foundation.
Former Springbok rugby captain, Bob Skinstad’s foundation heard about the school’s need when learners entered a competition hosted by the MultiChoice Fort Hare Inkwenkwezi Trust and Ads24, inviting underprivileged schools to identify a project that would improve their school or community life.
Grade 11 and 12 learners from Siseko Secondary School and their student mentors from the MultiChoice Fort Hare Inkwenkwezi Trust’s mentorship programme identified the need for school shoes among particularly grade eight learners. They have won the online competition where people could vote for their favourite of the 13 shortlisted community projects on the MultiChoice Fort hare Inkwenkwezi website.
Mr Madotyeni, principal of Siseko Senior Secondary School said many of the learners at this no fee school are from families who survive only on social grants and do not have the means to provide school shoes for their children when they start high school.
Of the shoes donated, Bob Skinstad said, “I hope that this simple gesture will have a far-reaching effect, bringing hope, pride and dignity to some of South Africa’s future leaders.” |
