KAINOafrica™
Inspire the next Generation
Our model is simple and based on George Courus‘s philosophy that “Technology can never replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of a great teacher can be transformational” Meaning Learning should never be technology led. Teachers teach, technology assists. Focus should be placed on how the technology can be used to aid learning.
As defenders of learning, we passionately believe technology is the driving force behind a change in the fundamental purpose and delivery of education. Teachers and learners need to be empowered with 21 st century skills to prepare them for tomorrow’s workplace.
