@LatoyaM16885 @YassimKat @AshenaNaid25487 @GenevieveS88288 @KrynauwJan92893 @Anastasjia2529 Leaders must portray and emphasize AI as a tool to support, not replace, human professional capabilities.

[Latoya Maphuti @LatoyaM16885]

Leaders must champion policies where AI enhances learning without replacing human connection, creativity, or care.

Coding & Robotics rolloed out as a subject in 2024, but SA education system is not ready. @DBE_SA must partner with the private sector to bridge the gap and prepare learners for 4IR

@Debrah3166061 @YassimKat @KhomolaMas5225 @FakirHayley The provision of digital resources for learners is going to be a challenge for non-fee-paying schools. Leaders will have to network and source sponsorships from companies and investors in collaboration with the SGB members.

@Debrah3166061 @YassimKat @KhomolaMas5225 @Smith93Ivan @ver89735 @Debrah3166061 The introduction of Coding and Robotics in the Foundation Phase in 2026 will yield good results in that regard. Incrementally, this will be implemented in all grades. Teacher training will commence in June 2025

4IR tech like AI and robotics is reshaping learning. Schools must move from content delivery to creativity, collaboration, and digital fluency. Is your school ready? #4IR #FTinELM https://t.co/qeeKl468bA @YassimKat

@mabuza_pale @Palesa Unfortunately, they do, just like SGB members, who also hinder progress in schools in most instances. Their intentions in being in governance are fueled by benefiting from the school's funds, rather than generating funds fro schools.

AI should support and not replace professional judgment. School leaders still need to interpret data with context and compassion. https://t.co/bsl9llNmHx

An AI tool might flag a child as "failing," but only a human leader can ask, “What's going on at home?” Empathy can’t be automated. Leaders need to ensure a culture of empathy by staff members. https://t.co/WeAKohyiwq

@colleenpmillar @YassimKat @MegzCoops @VRPotgieter @TMkhize27200 @SSonderup78934 Many educators fear AI will replace them. Leaders must portray and emphasize it as a tool to support, not replace, their professional capabilities

[Ntsiki Nogwam @NNogwam]

@AshenaNaid25487 Being underpaid / undervalued is the biggest contributor to mental health challenges in leadership?

There will be implementation of Coding and Robotics. The year 2025 is earmarked for teacher training on this apect.

AI in education has great potential but also risks like bias and privacy issues. The African Union prioritizes knowledge sharing to harness AI's benefits responsibly. #FTinELM @YassimKat

AI is a tool for transformation, but without inclusion, equity, and empathy, it risks becoming a tool for division of leadership. https://t.co/EmbHLiGlOG

@TM_Nkosi333 @mabuza_pale @YassimKat @Nuh783716896765 @Luyanda_Mdl This can only be possible if Unions can stop interfering with the running of schools with regard to teacher development.
