My school is situated in KwaMhlanga Township, which has three sections A, B and C. My school section is section A. The Town started to exist 40 year ago. It is a very developed area compare to other areas nearby such as Mountain View where my family is allocated. I started schooling at KwaMhlanga Senior Secondary school when I was in grade 10 at the age of 17, it is a public school which accommodate also the disadvantage learners highlighted by the feeding scheme program.
It is known by its best performance and results around kangala region in the following areas science and commercial subjects. I matriculated in 2014, doing commercial subjects namely (starting with the subjects I passed with distinction) accounting, Isindebele, life orientation, business studies and mathematical literacy, and the other subjects: English and economics. The total number of matriculates where 150 and only one learner didn't make it, but even so the were learners who had passed with a high certificate, those learner complained that their results were poor because the was no educational technology . The teachers only used PACK method because of limited technological resources. to take you back a bit.
when I was doing grade 10 in 2012, our principal announced that we were sponsored computers (but they needed to be repaired first) by a particular organisation because the government did not had the sufficient capital to provide the school with such technologies. The process of repairing the computer was slow, during that time computer lab was built. In 2013 the school saw that the was no development in the project of repairing the computer and it was wasting money. they got rid of the computer and as for the computer lab, it was used as a storage. The only place that had internet services was the library which was far from school and internet cafe which you have to pay for their internet services. The above situation of my school I believe it support the learner’s complain and it was a barrier to technological education. https://www.google.co.za/maps/place/KwaMhlanga/@-25.5126005,28.771898,10.75z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x1ec0069e656c8a53:0x100877a250937a58?hl=en
