Abstract
This report assesses South Africa’s current education data and tool landscape as well as some of the major local and global contextual changes currently underway and how South Africa should respond to them. It is not intended to be an exhaustive, detailed assessment of all aspects of information and communications technology (ICT) in education, but rather to provide a snapshot of the system today and an overview of the current trends, challenges and opportunities. The report offers up a blueprint for where further investment and analysis efforts are required to ensure the system can navigate the
challenges of a changing technology landscape and leverage the opportunities on offer as a springboard to continue the progress that has been made in recent years.
