ICT Barriers in South Africa

ICT Barriers in South Africa

The barriers of ICT in south Africa do have a negative impact in our schools, looking back to my schooling background, attending a school without computes or other related technological appliances was really awful. I think it sometimes limits our educators to provide learners with fresh ideas and other vital useful resources. South African teachers working under such conditions, misses various effective educational lesson, teaching strategies and some essential tools to improve the level of education in our country.

Sometimes it becomes difficult for for educators to convince learners with appropriate examples  about what their learning about but simple for those who had access to computers and projectors to display what their being taught about. ICT in schools helps to manage time and also to design class list, learners performance  just to mention a few.

After the completion of our course,I wish my school can be one of the fewest with at least access to computers for both  learners and teachers, which can play an important role in generating knowledge to learners as we are living in the world of technology and make learning more amusive. ICT can sometimes have repercussions but it worth a lot when applied appropriate.
  

"My schooling at Chayaza high shool, Mpumalanaga-journey continued,"

My schooling

My high school was one of the fewest best performing school around Bushburgridge region. The name of my school was Chayaza and it was known as one of the best school when it comes to rendering education, singing and participation in sporting activities and come up as winners. We had very adorable, caring, generous educators; they were available when needed them not forgetting my ever caring cruel principal, who was always behind my success.

Chayaza is situated at Mpumalanga province in a wide township called Mkhuhlu, about 10 kilometers away from home, however the distance didn't matter most because I enjoyed every day spent at school. I joined the high school in 2007 and matriculated at 2011 which was one of my precious memorable year. Any students leaving primary wished to be part of this school, which resulted in a large number of students and congestion in our respected classes. My subjects were Mathematics, Tsonga, English, Geography, History, Business studies and Afrikaans.

We succeeded under bad conditions especially we had a very old classroom buildings, which our mother also attended through the same structures. We didn't have an access to technology like computers due to the lack of computers.Chalk board was the only tool used by teachers to teach us, but despite those challenges I had a profound education experience and adequate, amicable committed teachers ever, I call my high school "the mother of success".
