A mobile iPad lab containing 20 iPads was handed over to the school where pupils are being taught through the technologically advanced device with interactive applications.
The company has a long history with the school and partnered with iSchoolAfrica, an education initiative that has reached 120 rural and urban schools throughout the country. Together, these organisations have introduced the next level of teaching and learning through technology at the school.
The schools’ grant resources and donor administrator, Marion Leatherbarrow said, “We realised that it will revolutionise education at the school. Levels of concentration have increased dramatically and success at being able to achieve what was extremely difficult in the past, has already greatly raised levels of self-esteem.”
Head of corporate social investment at PPC, Francie Shonhiwa said they were already getting wonderful feedback about how the devices were changing the lives of pupils. “I’m so grateful that this relationship is on a journey, different providers, but we are all working together,” she said.
The school which accommodates pupils with special needs, thanked the organisations for making this possible.
