Glenvista Primary School Receives Tablet Donation To Bridge Digital Divide In Education

The tablets, provided by Primedia Group, are officially presented by Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, and Honourable Minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube, highlighting a collaborative effort to enhance educational access in an uneven society, says the company.

The ministers highlight the transformative potential of technology in education, emphasising the importance of equipping students with the necessary tools to succeed in a rapidly changing digital landscape, adds the company.

"This occasion is not merely ceremonial; it reflects our collective commitment to dismantling the barriers that have historically limited access to information and technology. Each tablet represents a gateway to knowledge and opportunity for our youth. We are dedicated to ensuring that no child is left behind in this digital age," says Bongumusa Makhathini, Joint CEO of Primedia OOH and Primedia Studios.

The event serves a poignant reminder of the critical role technology plays in fostering educational equity. Makhathini further articulates the importance of collaboration, noting, "Real progress requires a partnership between government and business, aligning policy with purpose. Our journey towards transformation begins in our schools, with our children at the forefront."

As Glenvista Primary School embarks on this new chapter, the tablets will help students to explore, learn and innovate, nurturing their curiosity and confidence. This initiative seeks to bridge the digital divide and to cultivate pathways to opportunity and dignity for all learners, says the company.

The handover ceremony reaffirms the shared commitment to uplift communities and transform lives, aiming to ensure that in South Africa, access to opportunity is a fundamental right for every child, rather than a privilege reserved for the few, concludes the company.
