  • Tech conversations: Tackling Mental Health Issues in the Tech Industry

    The rise in remote working has meant many in the tech industry are prone to working longer hours. This leads to less time spent relaxing and socialising, which can increase the risk of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. This reality is reflected in the statistics. According to AppDynamics, 89% of tech professionals report feeling immense pressure at work and 84% found it difficult to switch off at the end of the day. In turn, as Open Sourcing Mental Illness (OSMI) found in their research, just over 51% of this group have been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

  • Education conversations: The JumpStart Foundation is addressing township maths teachers.

    Guest 1 on the line: Lesego Maforah -Strategic Relations Manager at The JumpStart Foundation

    Did you know that South Africa's mathematics results are second lowest in the world? Nearly 2/3rds of learners can't do basic operations in Grade 5! Are you aware that a simple solution is impacting the outcome of early grade mathematics in under-resourced classrooms around the country?

    The JumpStart Foundation is a NPO addressing township maths teachers' need for support with a combined tech and human solution (that also tackles youth employment!)

    We train unemployed youth, like Moleboheng Hoffman, as education assistants in under-resourced mathematics classrooms, helping foundation phase teachers to ensure that children have a basic number sense by the end of Grade 4.

    So... where does the tech come in? JumpTrak is a M&E app developed by our parent company, JumpCO, enabling the youth tutors to grade each child daily. With a granular assessment of how learning is happening we can assess which children, grades or schools on the programme are falling behind.

    Funding from Michael & Susan Dell Foundation provides digital "workbooks" that gamify maths learning in schools where teacher-pupil ratios typically preclude successful learning. Since 2016, JumpStart Foundation has been addressing foundation phase numeracy in 26 schools in Katlehong. In Sasolburg the programme, which caters to 10 schools, has run since 2014. In just 18 months, independent UJ evaluation shows significantly improved numeracy outcomes.

  • Legal conversations: Copyright of the work you pitch in the working & business environment.”

    Guest on the line: Advocate Thabo Modisenyane -Advocate of the High Court of South Africa | Member of the Pan African Bar Association of South Africa.

    We all know that being informed and being educated with a bandwidth of information that comes with the development of technology today. We can agree that it is was not easy and pretty not as accessible to attain legal advice for free let alone as fast and as efficient as it is right now with a lot of people globally taking advantage of their knowledge and skills to give to people on social media such as Twitter and as it is practical and brief on Tik Tok.

    Today in South Africa as a young democracy, we are learning and unlearning how the legal system works when it comes to various cases that go to different courts of law and depending on the nature and urgency of the case. We see cases unfolding and being heard mostly in High Courts, the Supreme Court of Appeals and Constitutional Court, that end up attracting media outrage on social media platforms to having these cases broadcasted on national television networks and radio stations for the public to hear and see the court proceedings.

    On Tuesday, the SAB Foundation, in partnership with the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), an entity of the department of science and innovation, hosted its 12th annual Social Innovation and 7th annual Disability Empowerment Awards where R18m in funding was awarded to 29 deserving entrepreneurs.

    Mongadi said the grant will help the business acquire more industrial equipment to increase production and generate more revenue that will lead to further job creation and enhance access to mobility by 70%.
