Confined to their homes after last week’s lockdown, parents are turning to free and paid learning websites in a desperate bid to assist their children with extra lessons.
Nomfanelo Bovu reads a special story to her granddaughter Olitha Mangcayi during this time of isolation.
“The effective use of integration of available technology will revolutionise the assistance given to learners and the delivery of the curriculum in the short term.” From their side, the READ Educational Trust offers a series of home activities, including a self-discovery game to “stimulate conversation and set imaginations alive”.
International online learning site Cambrilearn’s James Milne confirmed to Times Select they had “a massive daily influx of schools and tutoring services” using their services since the start of the pandemic. “Live lessons are recorded and made readily available for students to rewatch as often as necessary.”
