September 15 marks Online learning Day. Already popular in America, many South African families are also opting for online learning.
Shaw recognised that while online learning has been in existence for decades, the pandemic caused a sudden spike in popularity.
In line with this trend, Teneo has seen considerable growth over the past three years, with an impressive 567% increase in student numbers and a colossal 1 400% increase in teacher numbers from September 2019 to September 2021. “Teneo started with a few hundred students in 2018 and in line with the growing trend in online schooling, now have three schools, offering both South African and British international curricula, with over 480 teachers who offer live online lessons to over 8 000 students,” adds Shaw.
According to Unicef, online education allows for the democratisation of education, adding that at global and regional levels, most students have assets at home that enable them to learn remotely via digital or broadcast classes. Meanwhile, tech company Fireflies reported that online educational formats are more flexible, offering variety and the ability to customise one’s learning experience
