We as Samsung are delivering the Samsung Smart School to the provincial department - a solution which was initiated to enable young people to enjoy improved education through the creation of new forms of learning supplied with programmes suited to their social needs. This association will see enhanced educational outcomes and we are proud of the work currently underway to ensure the schools reach their best matric results this year.” The Smart solution enables learners and teachers to benefit from a broad range of academic related information on their mobile devices.

The communication channel between the school and students is strengthened, helping to create a more interactive learning environment.

These centres provide the province with spaces designed to train teachers on how to integrate ICT in the classroom. It will further offer equipment and access to educational content, ensuring a sustainable introduction of e-Learning in the region.
