Two children injured in a bus accident in the Cape have been given laptops to help them keep up to date with schoolwork while they recover.
The two, both Grade 7 pupils from the Dennegeur Primary School in the Western Cape, were among 60 children injured in a bus accident in which four people were killed last month.
The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) handed over the laptops yesterday.
Education MEC Cameron Dugmore presented a laptop to Abdul-Wagiet Botha, who is recovering from his injuries in the Grootte Schuur Hospital, and to Tauriq Jackson, who is recovering from his injuries at home.
The WCED`s Khanya Technology in Education Project is installing a computer laboratory at the Dennegeur Primary School in Mitchell`s Plain.
By providing the laptops, project facilitators hope the injured learners can also benefit from the launch of e-education at the school.
The Khanya project, a WCED initiative to support teaching and learning in schools using information and communications technology, has installed CAMI software on the laptops, so that the learners can practise their numeric and literacy skills while away from school. Khanya facilitators will visit them regularly to help them use the programs, the WCED said in a statement.
