Projects
Western Cape Education Department - Khanya
Background
Since 2004 Edunova has been working in partnership
with Khanya to ensure that all of our methodologies are
aligned with the Education Department and that we do not
duplicate existing effort. In 2005 and 2006 Edunova has
delivered training and facilitation programmes in seven
schools in the Western Cape.
Programme objectives
To provide an ICT Training and facilitation
programme to pairs of primary schools over a 6 month
period using our "Quickstart" model, irrespective of
whether they are Microsoft or Linux based computer
labs. By pairing schools Edunova has been able to offer
better efficiencies and economies of scale.
