The R4 million investment will enable the school to provide learners with advanced ICT equipment, including a fully installed local area network (LAN) with special needs equipment, renovated learning labs, and a secure storage facility.   Monde Ngcukana, Managing Executive for the Vodacom Mpumalanga region, commented: “At Vodacom, we believe that technology has the power to unlock potential and create opportunities for every learner, regardless of their circumstances. This initiative at Silindokuhle Special Needs School is about more than just connectivity; it is about dignity, inclusion, and ensuring that no learner is left behind in the digital age. We are proud to partner with the Department of Education to bring meaningful solutions that empower learners with disabilities to learn, grow, and thrive.” 🔗Read more: https://lnkd.in/dgKDk4-B
