Learners and teachers at the Langberg High School in Olifantshoek recently celebrated the official launch of a brand new computer lab, equipped with 30 modern computers and an interactive screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funded by Reisa Solar<\/a> in partnership with the Kathu Solar Community Trust<\/a>, this project represents a broader commitment to strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in communities, where access to digital tools remains limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lab addresses a long-standing challenge of students previously having to travel over 40km to access resources required to complete their CAT practical assessments. With the opening of the on-site lab, this barrier has been removed, giving learners direct, daily access to essential technology resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, my learners no longer need to travel to Kathu just to do their practicals. We can now use weekends and after-school time productively to ensure they catch up and gain more hands-on experience. This means better understanding, increased confidence, and enriched learning.\u201d <\/p>Charity Dladla, teacher in Computer Applications Technology (CAT).<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Targeted at Gr.10 to Gr.12 CAT learners, the lab is designed to boost digital literacy, foster innovation and prepare learners for future academic and career success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur vision for this lab was to create a space where students are not defined by their socio-economic circumstances. We wanted to create an environment that inspires possibility, where young people feel they are stepping into a world of opportunity, innovation, and hope,\u201d said Shariefa Rhode, social performance manager for Reisa Solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
