E-learning boost for north school
The donation was made possible by ITSI, through its partnership with Jacaranda FM as well as iSchoolAfrica.
A Soshanguve primary school took the first step towards e-learning when it received a donation of an iPad lab this week.
The donation to Ntsha-Peu school was made possible by ITSI in partnership with Jacaranda FM and iSchoolAfrica.
Listeners were asked through the Jacaranda FM angels drive to donate their old iPads.
ITSI is the pioneering e-learning provider which enhances and simplifies the teaching and learning experience for both students and educators.
The three partners will provide Ntsha Peu Primary School in Soshanguve with an iPad lab and facilitation.
ITSI CEO Lieb Liebenberg said the iPads were refurbished and donated to unprivileged schools to start an iPad lab.
“We are delighted to be part of this initiative. Only through joint efforts can we make a difference in the lives of young children,” he said.
“Our e-reader application enables access to a variety of e-books – for both the curriculum prescribed books, as well as additional digital educational content.”

Children at Ntsha-Peu Primary School would now be able to enjoy iPad learning apps.
iSchoolAfrica in partnership with JacarandaFM began the outreach programme at the end of 2017 to bring digital technologies to disadvantaged communities.
“The project encompasses more than just an iPad lab consisting of iPads, headphones, software, covers, charging station and more, it also entails in-depth teacher training and support from the iSchoolAfrica team,” said Liebenberg.
“To enable iSchoolAfrica to effectively drive this initiative, corporate sponsorship is needed and for their roll-out to Ntsha-Peu Primary School, ITSI came on-board to financially assist their efforts.
“Foundation phase learners at Ntsha-Peu will benefit from the content provided by iSchoolAfrica through a host of various iPad apps as well as content supplied by ITSI and some of its prominent publishing partners such as Pearson Publishing and Cambridge University Press.”
