Digital Learning Takes Centre Stage as Grade 10 Learners Receive Tablets

The Department is encouraged by the commencement of the tablet distribution programme for Grade 10 learners in Quintile 1 to 3 schools across the province.

The devices have been fully configured and loaded with the necessary educational content, including e-books, offline learning applications, supplementary electronic Learning and Teaching Support Materials (eLTSM), and past examination papers.

Distribution of the devices commenced on 26 May 2026 in the Umjindi Circuit and will continue progressively across all circuits, with the programme expected to be completed by the end of July 2026.

This initiative marks another significant milestone in the Department's commitment to advancing digital education, bridging the digital divide, and ensuring equitable access to quality learning opportunities for all learners, regardless of their geographical location or socio-economic background.

The Department is confident that this investment in technology will enhance teaching and learning, empower learners with critical 21st-century skills, and improve educational outcomes across the province.

Learners are encouraged to safeguard these tablets and use them responsibly and exclusively for educational purposes. These devices are valuable learning tools designed to support academic excellence, innovation, and lifelong learning.

Through this programme, the Department is ensuring that learners in Mpumalanga enjoy equal access to high-quality education, are equipped to thrive in an increasingly digital world, and are able to compete confidently with their peers across South Africa and the global community.
