The Rural Education Conference 2025
This 2 day event will delve on the impact of technology on rural education in South Africa and in the region, highlighting the benefits and limitations of digital learning platforms, online resources, and educational apps. The findings suggest that technology has the potential to improve educational outcomes, but it requires access to reliable internet connectivity, device availability, and teacher training. A nuanced understanding of the social and cultural contexts is also necessary.

With general sessions from national thought leaders and sector experts, engaging plenary sessions, valuable networking opportunities, and access to our exhibitors and partners, attendees will leave inspired and energised with new ideas, strategies, and connections.
