The Western Cape Government will next year begin the roll out of broadband to schools, which will allow increased access to the cyber-world. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Jessica Shelver said our schools are central to the Broadband project as the Western Cape government has identified e-learning as a key strategic priority to improve the quality of education in the province.

“In preparing for this roll-out, the WCED have developed an e-catalogue website. Our aim is to populate this website with digital education resources, creating an online catalogue of digital resources that can be used by teachers, learners and parents when broadband comes available.” Shelver added.

She emphasised that our aim now is to receive as much education digital content as possible from various developers across SA and the world-over.

“The WCED is therefore inviting developers of digital education resources to join the department as it expands access to e-learning in the province.” Shelver said
