A group of young entrepreneurs are making significant strides in the field of education.
They have developed an innovative online streaming platform and app called SpongeIn, designed to provide learners with access to the entire CAPS curriculum through video lessons.
Co-founder and managing director of SpongeIn Lebone Segolodi shared with Business Report how the idea of the business came about.
Segolodi said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, he and his business partner came across an image of a little girl who, while the world was adjusting to the new digital way of learning, was saying: I love technology but what about me? surrounded by barren land, a visible lack of resources and it became very clear that she and many others like her will get left behind academically due to simply not being able to go to school.
Think about how many times you may have not been able to go to school and got left behind in class. Due to problems at home, hospitalisation or lack transportation to school. The list of possibilities is endless, but did that mean you should miss out on learning? Segolodi asked.
