So far, over 10,000 students are learning in connected environments for the first time and 78% of students are using a computer for the first time.
Test scores are improving, and more students than ever before are getting into university.

How lucky are the beneficiaries! EdTech is a formidable scaffolding that is crucial in supporting teaching and learning especially in times of crisis. Congratulations to @roux_sofie for this achievement.

The #BloomBox at #NBSS was designed, funded, built & installed by @roux_sofie & all by selling her #Art. It has empowered the #ResilientEducators there to deliver learning on a new level with their @WorldPossible @RACHEL_Offline & using #Kolibri @LearnEQ & put the A into #STEAM
