South African EdTech Week 2026: Highlights

South African EdTech Week 2026, hosted in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, united education leaders, startup founders, investors, and policymakers to drive sustainable digital transformation across the African education ecosystem.

Throughout the event, the consensus was clear: scalable EdTech solutions and AI tools make a lasting impact only when built around teachers' real-world experiences. Advanced digital learning platforms must actively support the human side of education and reduce educator workloads rather than complicate classroom delivery.

A heartfelt thank you to every educator, founder, funder, and policymaker whose contributions ensured teachers remained firmly at the center of every conversation.

While the official sessions have concluded, the collaborations and strategic dialogues shaping the future of education technology will continue.
