Educational research suggests that change only becomes embedded into practice when schools take ownership of the agenda and when innovation comes from the school itself.
This vision for learning will only take effect if it gains the commitment of schools to embrace these ideas and mould them to reflect the needs of their communities.
Provinces are at different levels of ICT integration in education. Significant progress has been made with provincial implementation mainly in the Western Cape (khanya); Gauteng (Gauteng Online) and Northern Cape (connectivity project).
Over the past years, Government, the private sector and non government organisation have responded positively to the challenge of bringing the digital divide. Efforts include such as SCOPE and SchoolNet SA.
Some schools that are in computer project such as Gauteng Online have not been using computer to enhance learning, as educators and learners have been denied access to the computer centre by the school management.
Did the government consult the teachers, learners, management of the school and other stake holders before installing computers to schools?
