This is an article written in 2016 way before the Covid19 threatened the world. It's now four years later and it seems this pandemic has expedited the process. The article lists 9 things that will shape the future of education and how the educational space will look like. Have a look and let us know what you think.

  1. Diverse time and place.
    Students will have more opportunities to learn at different times in different places. eLearning tools facilitate opportunities for remote, self-paced learning. Classrooms will be flipped, which means the theoretical part is learned outside the classroom, whereas the practical part shall be taught face to face, interactively.

The department of Basic Education today released the revised school calendar for South African schools.

The review of the school calendar came after a Cabinet decision that schools should break for four weeks. In his address to the nation a week ago President Cyril Ramaphosa said that schools would close for 4 weeks and reopen on 24 August 2020.

The Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga welcomed the school break.

  • The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom.
  • As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.
  • Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.
