Are South African teachers trained well enough so that they can teach effectively? Do they have enough support to plan how they will teach the school curriculum successfully?

The digital era, where knowledge and communication are based on the use of technology, promises to change the way teaching and learning happens at school. Under these conditions, what is the role of hardcopy textbooks in the 21st century? What do these developments mean when it comes to the preparation of well-considered plans and budgets for the education sector?

This research agenda is critical and groundbreaking for the education sector as it will support and inform planning, budgeting and the development of progressive education policies. The professional development of teachers and support given to them is an area of main concern because schoolteachers should have the means to teach the set curriculum effectively and achieve the anticipated results. This is at the heart of a quality education system. Monitoring and evaluation of performance in this area has shown that there are weaknesses in the system and performance now falls below the expected results.

The purpose is to support better teaching and learning in our schools, as well as fast-tracking digital literacy.
