Date : 15 May 2013
Venue : PELT Meeting @ JHB Central District
Reflection on Legislative Framework• White Paper on e-Education (2004): “Every SA Learner in GET & FET
bands will be able to use ICTs confidently & creatively to help develop skills & knowledge they need to achieve personal goals and to be full participants in the global community by 2013”
• Policy objectives towards the achievement of e-Education Goals:– Access to ICT infrastructure– Connectivity– ICT Professional Development– Digital Content Development– Community involvement– Research and development
Situational Analysis & Current Status: National Perspective
• Challenges:– Majority of schools across provinces are not yet at a
reasonable state of e-Readiness and awareness for the effective implementation of ICTs
– The system has relatively under developed digital teaching & learning resources
– The current level of ICT infrastructure provision to schools, including internet is largely dependant on the capacity of respective provinces and as result very low
– Teacher competencies & confidentiality on ICT integration still low
