The aim of the initiative is to give students access to premium technology applications to support the school curriculum for Grades 10, 11 and 12 and is designed to dramatically improve the quality and depth of secondary education output.
The Dimension Data E-learning programme was established in 2006 as an extension of the Saturday School initiative, and provides multimedia learning to learners throughout South Africa.
It consists of curriculum which covers English First Additional Language and English Home Language, Mathematics, Life Science, Physical Science and Accounting.
The learning content is updated individually on the trolley system to keep in line with the national school curriculum.
As per the Department of Basic Education, new curriculum roll-out on Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), all new and old e-learning trolleys in participating schools have been uploaded with the new content.
The programme aims to accelerate the pass rate in these subjects in all participating schools throughout SA, giving the learners the opportunity to further their education at universities.
“Thousands of learners who have had access to our E-learning Management System have seen tremendous benefits from our supplemental educational programmes. The programme has dramatically improved the matric pass rate in all partnering schools, particularly in maths and science,” says Sibusiso Buthelezi, General Manager: BEE Compliance, Dimension Data Middle East and Africa.
