I-South African EdTech Week 2025 yaqhutshwa kusukela ngomhla ka-28 kuya ku-30 Okthoba eBrickfield Canvas ye-UVU Africa eKapa, ngonyaka wayo wesine, ihlelwe yi-Injini ngokubambisana ne-Mastercard Foundation ne-UVU Africa. I-Sheen yayibonisa khona.

Indikimba yona kanye yayiyimpikiswano

Indikimba ka-2025 yayithi "Ukwakha Ukulungela i-EdTech Ezimeni Ezisweleyo", futhi kuyisitatimende esiqondile ngaphezu kokujwayelekile kwendikimba yengqungquthela. Umqondo osemuva: ubuchwepheshe bezemfundo bungayivala imikhawulo yangempela emfundweni yaseNingizimu Afrika, kodwa umthelela udinga ukudlulela ngale kokutholakala kwamathuluzi. Izikole, othisha nabafundi kumele balungele ukwamukela nokuhlanganisa lawo mathuluzi ngendlela enomqondo — okusho ubufakazi, ukwakhiwa kwamakhono nokusekelwa komkhakha wonke, hhayi nje ukufika kwamadivayisi.

Lokho kuyinto ewusizo ukuthi igumbi eligcwele izinkampani ze-edtech lihlale nayo. Futhi, cishe, yisona sifundo ebesisifunda ngendlela enzima ebudlelwaneni bethu nezikole unyaka wonke.

Ukulungela kubukeka kanjani ngasohlangothini lwehadiwe

Isitendi sethu sasingesokuzenzela, njengenjwayelo — amabhodi ekhishiwe, izakhiwo zisebenza, izivakashi zilindeleke ukuthi zithathe izinto ngezandla. Kodwa izingxoxo emcimbini onjena akuzona lezo ozithola embukisweni wesikole. Othisha, abaxhasi, abasunguli nabasebenzi boMnyango babuza ngezingxenye ezingekho ephosteni:

• Kwenzekani uma kwephuka? Esikoleni esiswele izinsiza, ikhithi engalungiseki kuwukulahlekelwa okungunaphakade, hhayi inkinga encane nje.
• Kudinga ini ukuze kusebenze? I-bandwidth, amadivayisi, ugesi nezimvume ze-IT kuyimikhawulo yangempela, futhi ithuluzi elicabanga ukuthi zonke lezi zine zikhona liyithuluzi lezikole ezinezinsiza ezanele kuphela.
• Ubani oyifundisayo? Akukhona ukuthi "ukhona yini uqeqesho", kodwa: ngamahora amangaki, ubani owakhokhelayo, nokuthi kwenzekani uma lowo thisha ehamba.
• Buyini ubufakazi? Izimpendulo eziqotho lapha zimfushane, futhi lo mkhakha uba ngcono ngenxa yabantu ababuzayo.

Kungani sibonisa emicimbini enjena

Inzuzo yebhizinisi yokubonisa esontweni le-edtech ayinkulu. Isizathu sangempela ukuthi ingenye yezindawo ezimbalwa lapho abantu abakha amathuluzi, abantu abawaxhasa ngemali nabantu okumele baphile nawo bekwisakhiwo esisodwa izinsuku ezintathu.

I-Sheen isesikhundleni esingavamile kulelo gumbi: senza ihadiwe, sibhale ikharikhulamu futhi siqhube namakilasi ngokwethu. Lokho kusho ukuthi uma othile echaza indlela into engahluleka ngayo, ngokuvamile singasho ukuthi sesihlangane nayo yini — futhi uma singakahlangani nayo, sivamise ukuzwa ngayo ngaphambi kokuphela kosuku.

Funda imicabango yethu emide ngalokhu ku-Insights, noma ubone ukuthi izinhlelo zethu zezikole ziluphatha kanjani uqeqesho nokusekelwa.
