2. WELCOME
Welcome from Brian O’Connell
There is an adage which says that knowledge is power. Is this true?
We know that South Africa leads the world in HIV infections and that our nation has now to deal with the incredibly complex and very costly challenge of
educating our people about this virus and how one prevents infection. We have to encourage our people to test for infection and this involves a contest
against stigma. We must also try to keep those infected alive through nutrition, medication and care, especially from family and friends. In addition we
have child-headed families because their parents have succumbed to Aids, and ways must be found to support such families. We now know that much of
what we must do to combat this virus depends on education and new knowledge.
One source of new knowledge about this new virus HIV and its devastatingly clever means of propagating itself by destroying our immune systems came
to South Africa in 1988: a book on HIV/Aids written by graham Jeffries. In his preface the author writes that HIV/Aids can have devastating consequences
for South Africa and can only be responded to in two ways: vaccination and education. As there was no vaccination in sight, our only defence was
education and the ways in which we would have to change our behaviour because of what we now knew. In the appendix to the booklet he gives a table
of confirmed cases of infection in all the countries in the world. South Africa had only 159 known cases of infection then but today we project an infection
count of more than five million South Africans.
Why, given this early warning, did we fail to protect our nation from this terrible virus? The conclusion we must draw is that education is power but only
if you use it well. Education Week provides us with a wonderful opportunity to be truthful about what our challenges are and to face up to what we must
do to secure our future.

Welcome from Johannes Cronjé
With almost half of its one billion population under 15, Africa looks to education, technology and investment to relieve its youth from chronic
unemployment and poverty.
Recently, great advances have been made with the introduction of new technology to formerly disadvantaged schools. government’s contribution to
public education has grown year on year and education remains its largest item of spending. FET colleges and universities are working more closely
with industry to bridge the skills gap, to produce learners that are equipped with the necessary skills to find employment and take their place in the
workforce.
The question is no longer, 'Should we use technology in education?', but rather, 'How can we make it part of the educational offering?'.
The Education Technology Indaba brings together experts from South Africa and beyond to examine the challenges and the solutions currently being
implemented and the latest developments in this field.
We are certain that you will find the conference a rewarding and useful experience. You will have the opportunity to meet with great presenters and
industry experts and we look forward to meeting you and exchanging experiences and opinions. We hope that you will leave the conference inspired
x
with new ideas and information to explore the opportunities and ways of incorporating technology to enhance teaching and learning.

Hi, my name is Sekou, I am the Education Week mascot to bring the voice of the
children to your ears. I believe in quality education for all and to give children the
potential to be anything they want to be. Education is the most basic insurance against
poverty. Education represents opportunity. At all ages, it empowers people with the
knowledge, skills and confidence they need to shape a better future. Please help us to
drive quality education for all.
The boy name Sekou is pronounced as SEHK-UW †. Sekou is derived from African origins. Sekou is of the meaning educated.

Welcome from the Programme Director
Industry representation
This annual event has become the biggest education gathering of its kind in Africa, attracting over 1400

The 2011 programme has been divided into four separate tracks focusing on Basic Education, Higher

Institutions, in addition to other priority issues, including Maths & Science and Sport & Recreation.

teaching methodologies to improve numeracy and literacy levels at an early stage, learn how to build an
inclusive education and training system or gain knowledge on effective career guidance, the Basic Education
track will offer you practical case examples from leading education specialists – we need to get the basics
right.
The Further & Higher Education and Training programme will address critical issues at universities and FET
government Schools
colleges, including student retention, creating and fostering a sound research culture and academic rigour
Universities Vendors
for increased global competitiveness, and how to align further education programmes with the needs of the FET colleges
workplace. The programme will also include innovative funding and partnership solutions for experiential
training and capital projects.
The Education Technology Indaba programme will offer real solutions on how to incorporate technology into
your teaching environment. It will provide a forum for issues such as creating the 21st century classroom, the Geographic representation
use of media and e-learning solutions, performance measuring and integrating learning systems within the
education sector.
New in 2011 is the Safety and Security in Educational Institutions programme! Learn from leading case
examples of successful access control system integration, how to manage gangsterism and substance abuse
in schools, how to develop and implement crime prevention programmes at higher education institutions
and how to improve your campus’ emergency response capacity in case of violent protests and political riots.
We are proud to be hosting this very important event for the fifth year running, and would like to invite you

• All stakeholders i.e. educators, management, parents, learners and support staff to collaborate in creating an environment which enhances learning by transforming
their behaviour to support a “norm” of co-operation and nonviolence. This is based on the understanding that conflict resolution goals are congruent with
educational goals.
• Learners, educators and parents to become leaders and role-models to their peers, by making positive life choices and by taking responsibility for their actions and
their self-development. This process also takes the programme into the community and families.
The workshop will work on building a sense of community and trust through participatory exercises focusing on:
