Reimagine teaching and learning
FNB Namibia recently hosted an Eduvision Stakeholder Engagement Forum where like-minded Namibians came together to show support and assist the Ministry of Education, Arts & Culture, and to be part of the remarkable cooperation between big corporates, small and medium companies, and individuals.The purpose of the event was to create awareness about the successful e-learning programme developed by Eduvision and to encourage new sponsors to come on board.
Jane Katjavivi, representing the FirstRand Namibia Foundation, commended Eduvision for the important role they play in addressing the educational needs of almost 5 000 learners in 10 schools in remote areas of the country.
“We applaud Eduvision’s innovative educational initiative, which reimagines teaching and learning to better serve the needs of all learners, and to empower Namibian schools through e-learning. As partners to this programme, we aim to provide an opportunity to teachers to transform their practices by providing them with improved educational content and more effective teaching and learning methods.”
Speaking at the event, Vice President Nangolo Mbumba, said that the core of quality education should be to transform children into better adults, inquisitive, tolerant and respectful of their elders and peers, and of other cultures.
He added: “The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, learn, work and relate to one another. Namibia is entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution which entails the integration of networked technologies to facilitate automation with the onset of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things being used in our everyday lives, including education.”
He concluded that it was crucial for the country to move with the world to adopt new technologies which would enable us to make learning easier, effective and modern.
