Story 3
A new educational support centre has opened its doors at Eastgate Shopping Centre. Called Learnergy, the hub is designed to help learners from grade 1 to 12 with tutoring, textbooks, and skills programmes like robotics and entrepreneurship.
Led by education advocate Ntsako Mhlanga, Learnergy isn’t a school—but a safe space where students can boost their learning, access free Wi-Fi, and use digital tools through a partnership with Vodacom e-School.
It’s also offering training for teachers and aims to bridge the gap in access to quality education, especially in underserved communities.
Open six days a week, Learnergy is part of Eastgate’s ongoing commitment to community upliftment through learning.
