Digital Literacy and Coding –
21st Century Skills (Intermediate Phase)

In 2024 detailed assessments of the connectivity, devices and IT infrastructure at each schools were undertaken. This established a clear understanding of the resourcing required to get this infrastructure to a satisfactory state. It is envisaged that this will be undertaken through a partnership between the schools, the Department and the Mkhulise programme.

​

A training programme was introduced for senior leadership at each of the schools to help them improve their basic digital skills. This course is ongoing and will be completed in 2025.

​

In Term 3 2025, a Coding and Robotics programme is being launched together with the Department of Education for teachers and learners in the Intermediate Phase (Grades 4-7). This will result in the setting up of Coding Clubs for learners who will, in this way, be better prepared for the new world of work.

Results

 

  • 3 senior leaders completed the Basic Digital Literacy Programme with a 62% aggregate

  • Coding and Robotics clubs introduced at Intermediate Phase in all six primary schools in term 3 2025

The support of the Distrct and from the Mkhulise programme really helped us to get our coding clubs up and running. We are really appreciative of the laptops which are being made available to our learners so that they can practice in a live environment. We see Coding and Robotics as critical for our learners’ future in this modern world.
