Ethekwini Primary School Leads the Way in KwaMashu with Coding and Robotics Subject

Ethekwini Primary School in KwaMashu has taken a bold step by launching the coding and robotics subject, becoming the first school in the area to offer this exciting new subject. The subject was launched on April 24, 2023, and is currently being piloted with 30 enthusiastic Grade 6 learners.

The subject is taught for an hour outside of the main timetable twice a week, with a team of dedicated educators committed to expanding the rollout of the subject in 2024. The team consists of Ms. Thango, Ms. Khumalo, Ms. Zulu, Ms. Khumalo, and Mr. Mkhize, all of whom are passionate about teaching the subject and ensuring that learners have a solid foundation in coding and robotics.

What we wish to achieve?

At Ethekwini Primary School, we believe that it is essential for learners to be equipped with the necessary skills for the future. We understand that the world is becoming increasingly digital, and we want our learners to be ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that come with it.

Through the coding and robotics subject, our learners are not only gaining technical skills but also developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. These skills are crucial for success in the 21st century workplace, and we are proud to be at the forefront of providing our learners with a solid foundation in these areas.

Our appreciation to partnerships.

We are grateful for the support we have received from various organizations in launching this subject, and we are now seeking additional support in the form of teaching resources. We would appreciate any information and resources that could assist us in delivering high-quality coding and robotics education to our learners.

We look forward to continuing to provide our learners with the best possible education and to expanding the coding and robotics subject at Ethekwini Primary School in the years to come.
