This document discusses education for all and the role of technology and teacher competencies. It addresses goals of expanding early childhood education and providing free primary education. Ensuring quality education for all requires improving learning environments, resources, and addressing teacher shortages. The development of teacher competency standards associated with ICT is important to engage and inspire students through technology, facilitate learning, and model digital citizenship. Effective teacher training and access to ICT in all schools is needed to transform education systems and achieve education for all.

2. FOCUSING ON:
Knowledge society
agenda
Pervasiveness of
technology
“Education for all”
and the desired
goals
The development of
teachers and teacher
competency standards
associated with ICT

3. Research has repeatedly found
education to be associated with changes
in health, mortality, and fertility
patterns
(The Human Mortality Database, 2009)

4. Not only do we educate children to enrich
their lives and their minds but we educate
to improve our country by creating skilled,
determined members of our society that
effect the economy in a positive way.
Basic education needs to be improved by
focusing on the areas where, mortality,
school drop outs, teenage pregnancy,
HIV/AIDS and poverty rates are high.

5. “they [learner] come without food and they eat here at
school… sometimes they come inadequately dressed,
without a jersey or shoes and it’s cold and it’s a learner
who does not have a home. when a child is shivering, he
doesn’t learn well. that’s the reason he has a difficulty. he
won’t listen to you or concentrate on what you do because
of hunger and cold that he’s feeling.”
-a teacher interviewed by the Nelson Mandela foundation’s study
on rural education.

6. Lets create schools that students, teachers and communities can
be proud of.
Lets improve school resources through donations and sponsors.
Lets adopt feeding schemes and get communities involved
Lets adapt the curriculum to fit their needs.
Lets show the members of the communities that they haven't
been forgotten and that their schooling needs are just as
important as the rest of society.

AN EQUAL EDUCATION FOR
ALL

7. Around the world with
internet
South Africa there is only
 17.4% of the population that uses the
internet.
Placing us on the lowest percentile of
internet users globally. (© statistics South

8. Collaborative learning
Allows for teachers
and students to interact
with other students
around the world
Blogs,
wikis
Interactive

THAT GO TO
WASTE AND GET
THROWN AWAY!

9. o Apartheid which resulted inequality, including
education
o Poverty; which is a result from poor education,
inequality, minimal payment from a minimal job.
o High rates of school drop outs due to many factors

enrolment, giving us an idea of the
amount of students enrolling for a basic
education

10. To rid ourselves of the past obstructions,
we need to:
 Look to the future
Not only create a plan but implement a plan that
effects the students, teachers, staff and the
community positively
Ask the more privileged schools and
communities to assist
Get the parents and community involved as it
creates a unified stronger force

11. These are how many of the classrooms look
around the world and in some of our schools
around the country, making use of
technology as a learning tool; such as the
smart board.

12. How most classrooms look
presently...
Many classrooms around the globe are
cluttered, lifeless and do not fit the “times” of
today.
Teachers are made to teach in conditions that
prohibits any learning stimulation.
Learners are made to attend schools where
they do not have the appropriate equipment
and facilities, whether its learning in
classrooms without desks or chairs. Most of
these schools have no learning materials or
have to share one between all the students
In most government schools there are on average 40
students, and in the more rural areas up to 60
students.
In a technological society we need to change
our schools...

15. Some ways technology is an advantage in
classrooms and schools
Makes access to information a lot easier and quicker.
The teacher has another “teacher” in the classroom that may
benefit them and create more time to actually teach.
They are able to interact in ways that stimulate their interests
whilst learning.
In the long run it can also be more cost effective by cutting the
costs of printing and ink (expensive liquid used everyday by
people).
It is also a great means of staying in contact, involving and
communicating with parents, as they will have access to what
the students are learning, when are their tests and other school
functions.
Some schools around South Africa and the globe already have
such systems in place and are proving to be quite effective.

16. Technology
fast and
effective
Smart boards,
computers,
internet, and
tablets,
electronic
readers
Can cut the teachers time with
administrative duties an allow the
teacher to focus on teaching.
Technology
sparks more
interest in
students.
(children are
now known as
technology
babies)
Allows for
creativity,
flexibility and
interaction
from all
students
Teachers will be
able to identify
weaknesses and
create activities
through
technology that
can benefit all
typesSchools, teachers and principle can interact with
schools globally, learn from others and exchange skills
Easier way of
involving parents,
and makes parents
feel as they have
some control in
what happens.
Communities can
be more aware in
activities that are
happening.

17. Issue that may hamper technology
in South Africa
Poverty stricken
schools cannot
afford technological
resources
Get the community
involved, provide
fundraisers, donations and
sponsors. Schools can help
out less fortunate
schools.(adopt a school
program
Children do not have
such equipment at
home, how can they
complete their
assessments.

19.  No matter what age, race, gender or if you have
a disability, you are you are entitled to a basic
education where you learn the skills reading,
writing and maths.
Everyone is entitled to the SAME education.
By law all children should be in school until the
age of 16.
Secondary and tertiary institutions should be
made available for all.
There should be ways in which tertiary
education can be accessed even if the student can’t
afford it (Bursaries, Student Loans, sponsor
programmes)
Even though it is law that students attend school
and all humans have the right to a basic education,
there are 27 million children who do not attend
school and as estimation of 795.81 billion adults
who are illiterate.

20. How can we ensure all children
attain a basic education?
 Allow for schooling to be more easily
accessible, there is still a high demand
and need for schools across the
country.
 We need to fix the current schools we
have and make them more learner and
teacher friendly.
 Create a curriculum that is meaningful
and worthwhile to teach.
 Focus on resolving the language
barriers still dominating South Africa’s
Education.
 Produce well equipped teachers who
are able to in various educational
settings and have a broader practical
experience and are knowledgeable
 Make all genders as equal and ensure
that girls are able to come to school,
are educated the same and are treated
the same.

22. What “education for
all” is about

24. o Expand early childhood care and
education
oProvide free and compulsory primary
education to all
o Promote learning and life skills for young
people and adults
o Increase adult literacy by 50 percent
o Achieve gender parity by 2005 and
gender equality by 2015
o Improve the quality of education

25. Expand early childhood care and
education
▪ Still regarded as a neglected goal.
▪ It was meant to contribute to young children’s
physical, mental, social and emotional
development which would then eliminate the
marginalised groups and prepare children for
formal schooling.
▪ 53% of the world’ children do not attend pre-
primary school.
▪ It is the responsibility of the parents,
community and government..
▪ The lowest average around the world still remains
in Sub-Saharan African countries (14%) and Arab
states (17%).
▪ In order to achieve this goal we need more funding
and parent involvement.

26. Provide free and compulsory primary
education to all
The survival rates from the
last grade of primary school
improved between 1999 and
2004 in most countries, but
remained low in Sub-
Saharan Africa
how to combine quality
and equity, and how to
measure quality.
Crowded and broken down
classrooms
Insufficient teaching time
Shortage of teachers
learning outcomes should be monitored
learning environments must be improved
learning resources, first and foremost
textbooks
attracting more and better teachers is paramount.
The teacher shortage is a major problem,
particularly in the developing world, where
pupil/trained teacher ratios (PTR) can reach 40:1

27. QUANTITY VS. QUALITY
The quantity, quality
and distribution of
teaching is a critical
work force in
reaching education
for all
Interaction
between
students and
teachers is
key
Create a need to
become a
teacher

28. 64% of illiterate people worldwide are women.
75% of the adults are illiterate adults,
Eight highly-populated countries contain a big average of illiterate
adults.
Asia: 388 million, of the women it is 67 women for every man.
India: In 1995 t0 2004 accounted for almost 35% of the adult
illiterate population globally.
Africa: 150 million adults cannot read or write for every 100 men
there are 76 woman
72 million primary school children still do not attend school, 57
million are girls
The need for quality female teachers around the globe will have a
positive affect!

30. The development of teachers and
teacher competency standards
associated with ICTEngage in
teaching
processes
Facilitate and
inspire student
learning, innovation
and creativity
Create and Manage effective
learning environments
Engage in assessment and
communication of student learning
Professional development and model ethical
Responsibilities
Understand subject matter for use in teaching

31. It is defined as the
Information and
communication
technology
What is ICT
exactly???
How will it benefit
the countries
education?
What does our
Government
need to do?
What about the
schools and
communities in
disadvantaged area
Effective workshops and
training will be placed.
Universities will create
courses to equip student
teachers so that they are
skilled when they qualify.
Funding needs to
be implemented in
order for ICT to be
accessed in ALL
schools.

32. How most Governments around the
globe feel

33. ▪ Our students are no
longer inspired, they
attend class because they
have to, they study
because the alternative is
failure.
▪ HOWEVER...
▪ Through ICT learners
are encouraged through
technology mediums and
skilled teaching practices,
they become motivated
and interested. This
allows for innovation,
creativity and the want to
perform school tasks
rather then the
compulsion.

34. Expectations of the teachers:
EMERGING
Understand the
importance of the
topic, be able to
review the approach
and then develop
interest in the topic.
APPLYING
Recognise and
describe, use
available researched
approaches and
always have exert a
positive energy with
any approach.
INFUSING
Make a pro and con
list of any approach.
Ensure approach for
correct target group.
Evaluate the
effectiveness.
TRANSFORMING
Master the approach and
technique for specific
grade. Demonstrate
using the creativity.
Demonstrate the
motivation, dedication
and sensitivity
appropriately in a
classroom.

35. Teacher competency standards:
Inspire

issues
• Solving authentic
problems
• Promote student
reflection
Design and
Develop
• Through the digital
age learn through

communicate
Promote
• Promote and model
digital citizenship
and responsibility.
• Understand global
ethics.
Engage
• Demonstrate
professional growth
and leadership

37. CONCLUDING
▪ The world is changing, instead of watching it transform
we need to jump towards the change.
▪ Accept the inevitable; that we live in a technological
world; where interaction is done through the web, where
children from the age of 2 are more equipped in using an
Ipad
▪ Join the revolution
▪ Adapt to the change, and allow ICT, collaborative
learning and technology benefit education, improve the
way we teach and the way students learn, as it is a
transformation to a world where there is education for
all; no matter what gender, what background, race,
culture or country you come from.
