This forward-thinking approach has not only boosted digital literacy but also prepared students to navigate modern challenges effectively. By collaborating with South Korean educators, South African principals can gain insights into adopting technology in a way that enhances learning outcomes, even in resource-constrained environments. This exchange could empower South African students with skills needed for the digital economy, bridging gaps in access to technology and fostering equal learning opportunities across socio-economic backgrounds. South Korea’s approach to integrating technology and innovation in education is another area where South African schools could benefit. South Korean schools make extensive use of digital resources and online learning platforms, encouraging students to develop technical skills from a young age.
