Mary Waters High School in Makhanda has insufficient tablets for its matrics. “Overall, the project was a complete failure for the school,” a teacher said. “Building a computer lab would have been better and would have given our learners more skills. The computer lab would be for everyone, and it would be strictly monitored.” The school has zero ICT infrastructure. Archive photo: Lucas Nowicki / GroundUp
