Welcome from Johannes Cronjé

With almost half of its one billion population under 15, Africa looks to education, technology and investment to relieve its youth from chronic unemployment and poverty.

Recently, great advances have been made with the introduction of new technology to formerly disadvantaged schools. government’s contribution to public education has grown year on year and education remains its largest item of spending. FET colleges and universities are working more closely with industry to bridge the skills gap, to produce learners that are equipped with the necessary skills to fi nd employment and take their place in the workforce.

The question is no longer, 'Should we use technology in education?', but rather, 'How can we make it part of the educational off ering?'. The Education Technology Indaba brings together experts from South Africa and beyond to examine the challenges and the solutions currently being implemented and the latest developments in this fi eld.

We are certain that you will fi nd the conference a rewarding and useful experience. You will have the opportunity to meet with great presenters and industry experts and we look forward to meeting you and exchanging experiences and opinions. We hope that you will leave the conference inspired with new ideas and information to explore the opportunities and ways of incorporating technology to enhance teaching and learning.

Johannes CronjéDean, Informatics and Design, Cape Peninsula University of Technology,South Africa

WELCOME

Brian O’ConnellRector and Vice-Chancellor, University of the Western Cape, South Africa

Welcome from Brian O’Connell

There is an adage which says that knowledge is power. Is this true? We know that South Africa leads the world in HIV infections and that our nation has now to deal with the incredibly complex and very costly challenge of educating our people about this virus and how one prevents infection. We have to encourage our people to test for infection and this involves a contest against stigma. We must also try to keep those infected alive through nutrition, medication and care, especially from family and friends. In addition we have child-headed families because their parents have succumbed to Aids, and ways must be found to support such families. We now know that much of what we must do to combat this virus depends on education and new knowledge.

One source of new knowledge about this new virus HIV and its devastatingly clever means of propagating itself by destroying our immune systems came to South Africa in 1988: a book on HIV/Aids written by graham Jeff ries. In his preface the author writes that HIV/Aids can have devastating consequences for South Africa and can only be responded to in two ways: vaccination and education. As there was no vaccination in sight, our only defence was education and the ways in which we would have to change our behaviour because of what we now knew. In the appendix to the booklet he gives a table of confi rmed cases of infection in all the countries in the world. South Africa had only 159 known cases of infection then but today we project an infection count of more than fi ve million South Africans.

Why, given this early warning, did we fail to protect our nation from this terrible virus? The conclusion we must draw is that education is power but only if you use it well. Education Week provides us with a wonderful opportunity to be truthful about what our challenges are and to face up to what we must do to secure our future.

Welcome from the Programme Director

This annual event has become the biggest education gathering of its kind in Africa, attracting over 1400 visitors.

The 2011 programme has been divided into four separate tracks focusing on Basic Education, Higher and Further Education & Training, Education Technology Indaba and Safety and Security in Educational Institutions, in addition to other priority issues, including Maths & Science and Sport & Recreation.

Whether you are attending to improve your coaching and mentoring skills, hear more about the latest teaching methodologies to improve numeracy and literacy levels at an early stage, learn how to build an inclusive education and training system or gain knowledge on eff ective career guidance, the Basic Education track will off er you practical case examples from leading education specialists – we need to get the basics right.

The Further & Higher Education and Training programme will address critical issues at universities and FET colleges, including student retention, creating and fostering a sound research culture and academic rigour for increased global competitiveness, and how to align further education programmes with the needs of the workplace. The programme will also include innovative funding and partnership solutions for experiential training and capital projects.

The Education Technology Indaba programme will off er real solutions on how to incorporate technology into your teaching environment. It will provide a forum for issues such as creating the 21st century classroom, the use of media and e-learning solutions, performance measuring and integrating learning systems within the education sector.

New in 2011 is the Safety and Security in Educational Institutions programme! Learn from leading case examples of successful access control system integration, how to manage gangsterism and substance abuse in schools, how to develop and implement crime prevention programmes at higher education institutions and how to improve your campus’ emergency response capacity in case of violent protests and political riots.

We are proud to be hosting this very important event for the fi fth year running, and would like to invite you to join us in bridging the skills gap through quality education for all!

We look forward to welcoming you in Johannesburg!

Creating safe and caring teaching and learning communities – the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP)Workshop facilitator: Judy Connors, Director, Phaphama Initiatives

This experiential workshop is a highly eff ective training methodology which seeks to change patterns of behaviour that keep young people in confl ict. AVP is a pre-emptive confl ict resolution, and personal leadership development programme. The goals of the AVP programme are to enable:• All stakeholders i.e. educators, management, parents, learners and support staff to collaborate in creating an environment which enhances learning by transforming

their behaviour to support a “norm” of co-operation and nonviolence. This is based on the understanding that confl ict resolution goals are congruent with educational goals.

• Learners, educators and parents to become leaders and role-models to their peers, by making positive life choices and by taking responsibility for their actions and their self-development. This process also takes the programme into the community and families.

The workshop will work on building a sense of community and trust through participatory exercises focusing on:• Affi rmation• Communication• Cooperation• getting in touch with our inner power and capacity to transform situations creatively.

Early booking is advised as this workshop is limited to 30 places
