eLearning Africa receives sponsorship from CoZa Cares Foundation

"Over 300 African and international speakers will address some 60 sessions this year, which gives one an idea of the scale and importance of this continent-wide gathering. The organisation is thrilled to associate its name with the future of e-learning in Africa," said Fiona Wallace, CoZa Cares manager.

The conference and exhibition will, "explore key questions in ICT-enhanced education in Africa: How might eLearning be a vehicle for sustainable development in Africa? How can the public sector, private enterprises, education and society as a whole benefit from learning innovations which have the potential to drive education and training?"

"Sustainability is key to success"

"We know from the model we have employed for ICT interventions in South African education that sustainability is the key to success. Proper and intensive engagement with schools, the identification of teachers and principals who share the vision of a future IT-literate South African learner, and engaging incentives such as the ISPA-sponsored Super Teacher of the Year, are ways to make a tangible difference," explained Wallace.

Aside from Wallace's conference presentation on the 'Sustainable ICT School', the foundation will also be represented at an exhibition stand where its lessons, experiences and achievements will be showcased.

The foundation is also a Bronze Sponsor at African Education Week, taking place in July at the Sandton Convention Centre.
