Gerhard Ndafenongo, the Hardap Director of Education said 80% of the region's schools are in rural areas, and some do not have connectivity at all. Ndafenango said there are 12 schools in his region that are without any connectivity and thus the new mode of teaching is hampered. Ndafenango further said they rely on radio, printed material and the use of flash disks. The attitude towards E-learning is 50/50 as some are able and willing and some are doubtful, according to the director. Ndafenango said the barriers can be overcome by determination of both parents and teachers. Omaheke's Education Director Pecka Semba said of the 47 schools in his region 10 are very remote and, therefore, provide challenges to the new mode of teaching. E-learning is not successful due to connectivity in terms of the latest technology. Omaheke host the most marginalised tribe, the San community, and Semba said there are plans to make sure that the new mode of teaching reaches them. He said the cost of printing learning materials may be a big barrier in the future. School boards are used as a means of communication to traditional authorities and parents on the new mode of teaching. Semba further said attitudes of parents and learners have been very positive towards the new mode of teaching. He said, "the fourth industrial revolution for education is here and will stay even after COVID-19." They were speaking at the COVID-19 Communication Centre this morning on how teaching and learning in the regions are impacted during the state of emergency.
