Petrusville High School Edu-Boards

In Petrusville, Northern Cape, Scatec provided the local high school with its first fully integrated Edu-Board touch screen to enhance the learning and teaching experience at the school.

The challenge

We recognize that educators are finding it increasingly difficult to provide personalised attention to students. As a result, educators are looking for new, dynamic ways to engage students in a learning experience that creates new student-centric learning environments.

How we worked together

To ensure the effective implementation of this technology, we employed a local resident who was responsible for training the teachers on using the Edu-Boards. Since the introduction of the Edu-Boards, the school has achieved a 96% pass rate in the final grade 12 results.
