Building Digital Confidence in Rural Schools

Behind every successful student is a teacher who inspires and guides them. Yet, in rural Tzaneen, many teachers face the challenge of limited access to technology and digital training. At Next-gen Foundation, we believe that empowering teachers is just as important as equipping students.

Our teacher education programs are designed to provide practical, hands-on training in digital literacy, online safety, and the use of modern classroom technologies. Through workshops and ongoing mentorship, teachers learn to use computers, projectors, and e-learning platforms that bring lessons to life.

This training does more than improve teaching methods—it boosts confidence and opens new possibilities for teachers themselves. With digital tools, they can create engaging lessons, connect with educational resources worldwide, and better prepare students for the demands of the modern workplace.

By investing in teachers, we create a multiplier effect: one trained teacher can positively influence hundreds of students each year. Together with Reliance Medical Group, we are building stronger, more resilient schools in Tzaneen—where teachers are leaders of digital change and students are ready for the future.
