How did this come to our attention?

Norkem Park high School prides its self in the commitment it has made to make their school a leader in advancing education that is inclusive of all stakeholders involved in educating their learners. Challenged by the recent lock-down due to Covid-19, the school had to explore other alternatives to delivering curriculum to learners whilst they are stuck at home.

Looking at online platform such as WhatsApp and email was the only available tools to do that, meaning that the parents have to be brought into the picture to ensure that learners fulfil their learning obligations. An online learning management system was the obvious solution to their problem. However setting up such a system for a school that has 3000+ learners is not an easy task.
