Educational apps are increasingly becoming part of how children learn, offering interactive lessons, games and digital tools designed to make learning easier and more engaging. But in a country where many learners still face challenges with internet access, devices and educational resources, can these apps truly improve children’s learning experiences, or are we creating another gap between those who have access to technology and those who don’t? The conversation is inspired by recent research exploring primary school learners’ experiences, the difficulties they face and the support they need. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Software developer and founder of MAD HALO Technologies Mmasechaba Malatjie as we unpack whether educational apps are transforming learning and what it will take to ensure every child benefits from technology.
