Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi.
Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, has set a bold vision for the future of education, calling for a comprehensive integration of technology and artificial intelligence in the classroom.
He said this at the Ministerial Breakfast hosted at MTN Innovation Centre in Johannesburg on Monday for top achievers.
Panyaza has painted a picture of classrooms where students no longer struggle for basic necessities such as water, electricity, and sanitation, but instead focus on accessing data, digital devices, and free WiFi.
“I call on industry players, including telecom giant MTN and other tech sector companies, to partner with the education system to achieve universal connectivity in schools,” says Lesufi.
He adds, “The vision includes retiring traditional classroom tools like chalkboards and erasers, consigning them to museums, and replacing them with smartboards laptops, and tablets.”
Lesufi has also emphasized the importance of resolving persistent issues such as overcrowded classrooms and insufficient desks, asserting that every student deserves a modern learning environment.
