One Teacher, One Laptop - Why Teachers Must Embrace the Digitization Project

Generations of people who were unable to finish high school because of personal challenges, are still able to get that much-desired matric certificate.
When Frans Mpete was 15 years old, hard times forced him to leave school. Fast forward 50 years and Mpete, now 65, is close to ending his years-long regret of not having matriculated.
