Research Project

As were involved in the phase1 research project, I think for all of us it was aninteresting experiences especially when visiting schools. I have few that I will like to share with you .I have noticed that most of the schools in quintile 5 which are previously models C schools they still have more resources than quintile 1,2and 3 schools which are in townships and informal settlement. The computer laboratories are functional and schools use the sms system to communicate with parents. What I have noticed is that townships schools which have Gauteng- on- line ,computer laboratories they are either locked or used only by educators who are computer literate to do their work.I think there's still a lot that the Department need to do in ensuring that the laboratories are useful to both educators and learners. Let us not deprive our learners of the opportunities that are available for them.
