Digital media for open schooling in Eswatini COL

COL is supporting the Emlalatini Development Centre (EDC), in Eswatini, to migrate from a print-based to a digital and blended model of open schooling provision.

As part of this process, COL supported the acquisition of technical equipment to establish a media development centre, along with staff training to create digital educational media using the new equipment.

COL noted that while the move into the virtual space represents a profound shift for EDC, it will contribute to greater resilience in the schooling system in the face of future challenges to traditional schooling, such as another pandemic or the growing incidence of climate change-related disruptions.
