As technology becomes even more present in our lives and forms part of our jobs, it makes sense that the education system must follow suit.

In recent years, the incorporation of robotics into modern classrooms has significantly increased, providing students with hands-on experience and practical exposure to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.

While incorporating robotics in educational curricula has gained momentum worldwide, Thulile Khanyile, co-founder and co-Executive Director of Nka'Thuto EduPropeller NPO says African schools have yet to fully embrace its potential.

We often talk about access to schooling for children with learning challenges but far less about what happens after the school gates close for the last time.

Across Africa, many children with autism and other learning differences spend years in structured school environments, only to step into adulthood with very little guidance or opportunity. Employment, independence, social life - these are often left to families to figure out on their own.

We spoke to Kelly Eyre, Quality and Pedagogy Lead at Dibber International South Africa and Lindiwe Ndlovu, Mother to three boys on the Autism spectrum.

Survival skills such as situational awareness, self-defense techniques, emergency escape strategies, and knowledge of basic first aid are increasingly being recognized as essential.

These practices are no longer confined to law enforcement or military training but are being adopted by ordinary individuals as part of their lifestyle.

We spoke to Ebrahim Hoosen, Director of Flomotion about how people and communities should adjust their daily lives to hostage and hostage- like threats.
