The school has started to address the needs identified in the community to serve students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International. It is also accredited with Umalusi.Thedoes not have a computer lab as some other schools do but, explains school principal Hagan Nash: “It is a fully fledged BYOD school and works within the Google for Education space.
As a Google for Education enterprise, the school relies a lot on the Internet and data to enhance communication between students and teachers. For example, says Nash, the shy student who couldn’t ask a question in class will e-mail the teacher after the lesson for further help, which enhances the quality of education provided.prioritises the admin office, which receives first priority when it comes to accessing the Internet.
According to the principal, Nash, everyone loves having Evotel’s fibre in the school. “We are so grateful tofor generously getting involved in education and providing schools that fall under their network with free fibre access. We only trust that other organisations and ISPs will join the drive to better educate our youths by sponsoring data costs and high-speed service packages to enable schools to access the fibre speeds needed to run and manage BYOD school environments,” says Nash.
We at Evotel are very proud to be able to provide the schools that fall under our network coverage with free access to fibre Internet With ever decreasing data prices, it is more than possible for schools like the Harvest Combined School to add gaming as an e-sport to their curricula for their students, allowing the school to make full use of the speeds, stability and reliability only fibre Internet access can offer, whether those schools are in large cities or smaller rural towns.
