Learning under lockdown

"The disruption to our ways of doing things has especially evident in the critical field of education. South Africa youth have had to adjust to new and often challenging ways of teaching and learning: without face-to-face interaction with teachers, without the comfort and companionship of the classmates, and, distressingly, often without devices or data to give them Wi-fi access to online classes. Nevertheless, as these stories show, the spirit of the country's students remains indomitable. These stories reveal the extent of their "guts" and their commitment to their goal - to be educated at all costs. Their parents and teachers have been quite heroes too: supporting and encouraging students, often making sacrifices to do so. These stories reveal to government and schools what need to be "fixed" if quality remote teaching is to reach all our children."--
