Gauteng Department of Education is hosting a week long information, communication and technology (ICT) exhibition and mediation of curriculum software which will be targeting 2 500 primary and high schools in the province at the Turffontein Racecourse, Johannesburg.
Computer technology and the internet have changed the rules of the teaching and learning game, and the E-Learning week aims to promote the integration of ICTs into the curriculum to enhance the delivery of teaching and learning in schools.

The E-Learning week will make a substantial contribution to the professional development of educators in the utilisation of ICTs in the classroom and to also bridge the digital divide.
