An Adoption Model for Smart Learning in Ekurhuleni North District Secondary Schools

2. Background

According to Spaull (2015), the attention that has been given to the education sector after 1994 up to the current times, requires redesigned policies. The South African public secondary schools are still operating under compromised conditions as compared to private schools. Lack of resources in public schools is still a huge concern, yet inclusive education emphasises, and promotes effective learning environments that support learners uniqueness (Engelbrecht et al., 2016). Therefore, teachers need to understand and give support to the special requirements of every learner, acknowledging the number of learners in the classrooms. Teachers need to acquire special skills to be able to interact and educate learners.
