As global temperatures soar to record levels, and the effects of climate change leave millions across the world displaced, solutions to the crisis are emerging from the next generation of leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). To foster innovation and work toward solving humanity’s biggest threats, it’s essential to provide learners with opportunities to explore and grow their confidence in these disciplines.

Children entering the school system today will enter a very different world of work than their parents and grandparents, thanks to digitalisation and technologies such as robotic automation and AI.

The transition from primary school to high school is an important time, often setting the tone for a learner's high school experience and subsequent entry into the workforce. Learners encounter new academic challenges in a more structured learning environment, navigate social changes, and experience intense emotional growth as they discover their passions, develop their independence, and chart their future paths. 

Choosing the best preschool for your little one can be a daunting task – it’s your child’s first experience of school and the beginning of their formal educational journey. It’s therefore important for parents to ask helpful questions as they evaluate their options.

There’s widespread recognition that schooling needs to evolve to remain relevant in a changing world and Hennie Mentz, Executive Head of Curro Uitzicht, an assisted learning school in Cape Town,  says this is also an opportunity to improve inclusivity. He believes this will not only pay off in terms of improving educational outcomes, but in future-proofing the next generations as they enter a very different working world to those who have gone before them.

South Africa’s leading independent school group, Curro Holdings, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Anthony Edwards as the company’s new Curriculum Executive.

AI is here to stay and is disrupting every industry, from accounting to interior design and, of course, education. Angela Schaerer, Digital Transformation Manager at Curro Holdings, JSE-listed South African independent school provider, notes that AI is part of learners’ present and future and it’s important that educators guide them in using it responsibly and with confidence.
