A picture is worth a thousand words...a video is worth even more!

This video demonstrates what the Zisukhanyo Schools Project is all about,
far more powerfully than we could ever say with words.
It is well worth turning the sound up and expanding the video to full screen!

Stage I Control Board Meeting


The Stage I Project stakeholders met yesterday to present a penultimate self assessment before the Stage I Project closure at the end of August 2011.


School Principals, Metro South Education Department (MSED) Officials, ZSP Team and ZSP Partners reported on progress towards the different Project Strategic Objectives. It was very particularly encouraging to hear the MSED officials' assessment of how the Project has impacted on the schools' daily functioning. During the meeting Principals presented their ICT sustainability plans.

Danny Gallagher, Chairman of Protea Education Development Project (the Project owner), commented on the thought, honesty and detail that had gone into each of the assessments.
