“Education forms the cornerstone of any society, and South Africa is certainly no different. Our constitution states that ‘everyone has the right to a basic education’, and it is becoming more critical for the private sector to step up to the plate and assist Government in delivering education services and facilities,” says Emson Moyo, chief technology officer of Gijima.

Gijima realises the importance of such a contribution and its partnership with EduXpert has enabled the company to develop and deliver a suite of education solutions to assist with the day-to-day running and management of schools by reducing paperwork and improving reporting methods.

“With the increasingly important role that technology is playing in education today, by connecting South African classrooms with the global classroom, educators are under increasing pressure to deliver updated knowledge and information to their learners while, at the same time, ensuring that their records are maintained and all other administrative tasks are completed timeously.

“We understand the pressures that educators are faced with on a daily basis. For this reason, we have partnered with EduXpert to offer colleges and schools a technology solution that simplifies school administration for everyone involved in education in South Africa, from the Minister and Department of Basic Education officials and moderators to school principals, educators, the learners and their parents or guardians,” explains Moyo.

The Education Week Convention and Learning Expo provides an excellent vehicle for Gijima and EduXpert to demonstrate their end-to-end solutions within the education sector.

“This annual expo attracts a wide audience from all areas of the education spectrum under one roof. This makes our task easier as we are able to engage with conference delegates who have a real interest in education and how technology is developing to assist them to become more efficient and effective educators,” comments Moyo.

“The Gijima Education Solution ensures that all administration systems are managed electronically to reduce paperwork and improve reporting methods. We are empowering education through technology by offering customised solutions for FET colleges and schools, as well as education departments at district, provincial and national level,” concludes Moyo.
