[Duraspace] BBC News - South Africa education gets e-learning digital makeover

[Hilton Gibson]

In Africa's schools, old-fashioned, dusty textbooks are gradually being
replaced by tablets, computers and mobile phones.
​ ​
*Such digital technologies offer the potential to tackle some of the
continent's chronic education challenges, including overcrowded classrooms,
teacher shortages and the 30 million children in sub-Saharan Africa without
any education at all*.
​ ​
As Africa becomes ever more connected, educators and publishers are finding
new ways to reach young audiences and develop their burgeoning minds.One
such company is Via Afrika Publishers.
