PPC labs empower rural learners in ICTsby AKANI CHAUKEJOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – MANY of South Africa’s rural students are lagging behind their counterparts in the urban areas in terms of access to modern technologies and innovations that are transforming the education sector. It is against the backdrop of these disparities that a rural school in the North West Province has benefitted from a mobile science and information technology (IT) laboratory. The initiative is part of PPC’s science educational programme. The IT system provides bespoke software that comes handy for science teachers and pupils. “The mobile science lab thus supports government’s strategic initiative to improve outcomes in these key subjects,” Claassen said.
