The ICON update focuses on several projects aimed at delivering efficient eLearning, eHR, and eFinance systems to schools. By integrating technology into education, we aim to build capacity and leverage information from IT audits to enhance communication and learning environments. With the rollout of video conferencing and ICT strategies, we are committed to adapting pedagogies for contemporary learning. The Local level involvement and ongoing assessments ensure that our systems meet essential specifications to foster improved learning experiences and infrastructure development.
