These initiatives recognize that effective integration of digital tools depends on well-trained, confident educators. SayPro supports universities in designing professional development programs that enhance teachers’ digital competencies and pedagogical skills. This focus helps build a workforce capable of delivering high-quality digital learning experiences across South African schools and universities.
Through Erasmus+ partnerships, SayPro facilitates training modules covering topics such as digital literacy, online pedagogy, and the use of emerging technologies. These programs encourage reflective practice and continuous learning, empowering teachers to adapt to rapidly changing education landscapes.
