Capricorn reaffirms support for EduVision
The Capricorn Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to revolutionise the education sector with its ongoing support for the EduVision programme. Designed to assist 19 marginalised public schools nationwide, this initiative is set to impact over 10 000 students and 350 teachers, addressing a multitude of challenges that impede the performance and quality of education in rural areas.
With an unwavering focus on efficacy, the project team undertakes a monthly journey spanning 7 000 kilometres to visit each of the 19 schools, ensuring smooth operations, engaging with educators and learners, and delivering essential training where necessary.
The programme aims to uplift 19 underprivileged public schools nationwide, benefitting over 10 000 students and 350 educators. By tackling the numerous challenges that hinder performance and educational quality in rural schools, EduVision is making a significant impact.
Bridging gaps
Since 2020, the Capricorn Foundation has been a steadfast supporter of the EduVision project, having committed a total of N$1 380 000 to date.
This year, an additional N$540 000 has been pledged, further fortifying the foundation's dedication to bridging the academic disparities between urban and remote schools in Namibia. By striving to provide equal opportunities for rural education, stakeholders like the Capricorn Foundation play a crucial role in levelling the playing field.
"The impact of their sponsorship has been profound. Thanks to their financial support, we are able to equip these remote schools with the necessary infrastructure, including internet connectivity and learning resources. The Capricorn Foundation's contribution has transformed classrooms into vibrant hubs of learning, where students can now explore new horizons and acquire knowledge that will shape their future," said EduVision’s Frikkie Louw.
Gateway to the future
The EduVision Project serves as a gateway to an "extended classroom" for rural and marginalised schools. This innovative approach focuses on providing students with supplementary lessons through inclusive digital learning platforms. Interactive tools like smartboards, recorded lectures and live online classes conducted by experienced educators empower students and drive digital transformation in these communities.
The project began at Tsumkwe Secondary School in the Otjozondjupa Region. Today, the project supports schools across the country, including Waterberg Junior Secondary School, Okakarara Secondary School, Gam Secondary School, Cornelius Goreseb Secondary School (Khorixas), Himarwa Iithete Senior Secondary School, Kandjimi Murangi Secondary School (Nkurenkuru), Leevi Hakusembe Secondary School (Rundu), Epukiro Post 3 Secondary School, Schlip Primary School, Pioneer (Schlip), PI Groenewaldt, C//Oaseb, St Therese Secondary School (Tses), Oshaango Combined School, Epembe Secondary School, Elundu Combined School, and Ioma Combined School.
