Pilot school


In September, 2005, a state-of-the-art computer centre was officially opened at Intshayelelo Primary School by the then Irish Ambassador to South Africa, Gerard Corr.

Over the years since its establishment, the computer centre at Intshayelelo Primary School has gone from strength to strength. For example:

•Today, all of the teachers and children at the school are computer-literate.

•The school curriculum and the computer technology have been successfully integrated.

•The schoolchildren use the computer technology each day for lessons conducted by their teachers on subjects such as language (including English), literacy and mathematics.

•An initiative, whereby a group of 40 of the senior pupils at Intshayelelo School participated in an e-learning pilot project on the subject of HIV/AIDS, run in partnership with the Medical Research Council of South Africa, was successfully completed in early 2007.
