Delegates engaged in robust, thought-provoking conversations on:
- Revisiting and realigning teacher training and development to empower teachers in the Early Childhood Development, GET, and FET phases with the tools and knowledge required for modern classrooms.
- Redesigning pedagogy for South Africa’s multicultural and multilingual context moving beyond English as the sole language of instruction.
- Equality in education to address challenges of rural and under-resourced schools where there is an absence and whether or not it translates to cognitive poverty.
- Future-focused education that explores the role of Artificial Intelligence, integration of e-assessment tools, and equipping teachers and learners to respond to climate change and a fast-changing global environment.
MEC for Education in the North West, Viola Motsumi welcomes the platform as an opportunity to strengthen the province’s education priorities.
