KZN primary school receives news computer screens
Story 3
A primary school in Ntuzuma, KZN, has received a tech boost with the donation of 15 new computer screens and a computer from a Durban law firm.
The donation aims to support the school's digital literacy programme, which is crucial for learners' future careers and social welfare.
The school is already teaching computer literacy and coding, but the new equipment will help reduce the learner-to-computer ratio from six to three.
The school's IT educator Menzi Mfeka says the donation will give learners more hands-on experience, as many come from backgrounds with limited digital exposure.
