On today’s episode of The Social Impact Show, we’re joined by Dr. Corrin Varady,
--:--
Education Analyst and CEO of IDEA Digital Education, to discuss South Africa’s major shift in language education. With R99 million allocated to expand mother tongue instruction into Grade 4 and beyond from 2025, the country is taking steps toward more inclusive learning. However, the transition from home languages to English remains a challenge, often impacting academic performance.
Dr. Varady will unpack how technology can bridge this gap, ensuring students learn effectively in both their home language and English. We’ll explore how digital tools can support teachers, improve learning outcomes, and create a truly bilingual education system.
