As technological development transforms global education, the education sector in South Africa faces a critical challenge: how to deliver personalised, inclusive, and differentiated learning experiences that meet the diverse needs of every student. “As classrooms grow more diverse, both in learning styles and abilities, schools must adopt innovative approaches to ensure no student is left behind. Adaptive learning technologies offer a powerful solution, enabling educators to tailor instruction while fostering an inclusive environment,” says Andrea Kruger, EdTech specialist at ADvTECH Schools. Kruger recently delivered a keynote address at the 15th Cutting Edge Technologies in Education Practice Conference in Greece, on Empowering Inclusive Education. Adaptive learning technologies use data-driven insights to customise educational content, pacing, and assessments to suit individual student needs. These tools, ranging from intelligent tutoring systems to learning management platforms, allow educators to differentiate instruction without overwhelming their workloads. ADvTECH’s own adaptive Intelligent Tutoring System, ADvLEARN, exemplifies this approach by using AI to personalise learning pathways, ensuring each student progresses at their own pace. This system supports data-informed teaching while promoting learner autonomy across subjects. For students, this means a learning experience that feels tailored, engaging, and supportive, whether they’re mastering foundational skills or tackling advanced concepts. For teachers, it provides real-time feedback to adjust strategies, ensuring every student progresses. ACCESSIBILITY OF ADAPTIVE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN SOUTH AFRICA ADvTECH leverages cutting-edge tools like Microsoft Learning Accelerators to enable adaptive learning and differentiation across its schools, says Kruger. But while these may not be accessible to all South African schools, cost-effective and free alternatives can enhance student outcomes and drive tech-enabled learning nationwide. “Resource-restricted schools can absolutely integrate adaptive learning technologies by starting small, leveraging free or low-cost tools, and prioritising teacher training and inclusivity. While they may not match the scale of a global best practice ecosystem, the core principles—pedagogy-driven tech, inclusivity, and adaptability—apply universally,” says Kruger. Additionally, by tapping into partnerships, open resources, and community support, these schools can deliver personalised learning that transforms student outcomes, proving that innovation is possible even with limited means. HOW TO INTEGRATE ADAPTIVE LEARNING TECH INTO THE CURRICULUM “The success of adaptive learning hinges on intentional implementation,” says Kruger. “Technology must not dictate educational strategy but rather enhance it. Schools should prioritise tools that align with their pedagogical goals, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. Moreover, inclusivity must remain at the heart of these efforts, ensuring that technology bridges gaps for students with diverse needs, including those with learning difficulties or language barriers.” Kruger says a successful implementation of adaptive learning technology needs to consider the following:  Put pedagogy first : Choose technologies that support your teaching goals, fostering skills like critical thinking and creativity. Avoid tools that prioritise rote learning or dictate classroom strategies. For example, platforms with real-time analytics can help teachers tailor lessons dynamically while maintaining educational quality. Champion inclusivity : Select adaptive tools that cater to diverse learners, including students with disabilities, language barriers, or varying academic needs. Technologies should bridge gaps, ensuring every student—from those needing extra support to those ready for advanced challenges—feels included and empowered. Empower educators : Invest in teacher training to build confidence in using adaptive technologies. Tools like data dashboards can streamline administrative tasks, freeing teachers to focus on instruction. Free or low-cost training resources, such as UNESCO’s ICT Competency Framework, can support this in resource-constrained settings. Adopt cost-effective solutions : Resource-restricted schools can leverage free or low-cost platforms like Khan Academy, Moodle, or Kolibri, which offer personalised learning and offline capabilities. Mobile-first apps, such as Quizlet, can also deliver adaptive content using widely available smartphones, maximizing access in underserved areas. Stay adaptive and innovative : Regularly evaluate and update your tech practices to align with global trends and local needs. Encourage a culture of agility by piloting small-scale projects, assessing outcomes, and scaling successful initiatives. This ensures long-term relevance in a fast-evolving EdTech landscape. Engage communities : Involve parents, students, and local stakeholders to build trust in adaptive learning. Transparent communication about its benefits—such as improved engagement and equity—can foster buy-in.

Grade 9 students are currently nearing a critical milestone in their educational journey: selecting the subjects they’ll study from Grade 10 through to their final Matric exams. This choice is a foundational step in shaping their academic journey and future career opportunities, an education expert says. “Even if you’re unsure about what you want to pursue after school, thoughtful planning can help you make informed decisions that keep your options open,” says Wonga Ntshinga, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education , SA’s largest and most accredited private higher education provider. Ntshinga says while making decisions about subject selection can be daunting, it is an important process that will impact both performance and options down the line, and as such, careful consideration must be given to ensure that students choose as well as possible based on their unique strengths and interests. “The subjects you select for Grade 10 to 12 will influence your performance in the National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams. These choices will also affect your eligibility for further studies and certain career paths. The transition from Grade 9 to Grade 10 is significant because your subject combination lays the groundwork for your future academic and professional opportunities. By choosing wisely, you can position yourself for success in Matric while maintaining flexibility for your post-school plans,” Ntshinga says. KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING SUBJECTS Align with your interests and strengths Select subjects you enjoy and where you perform well. Choosing subjects that spark your curiosity will keep you motivated, even when the work gets tough. Reflect on your academic strengths—do you excel in logical subjects like Mathematics or creative ones like Dramatic Arts? For instance, if you’re skilled at problem-solving, subjects like Accounting or Information Technology might be a good fit. Keep your options open If you’re uncertain about your future career, prioritise subjects that provide versatility. Broadly applicable subjects like Mathematics, Physical Sciences, or Geography equip you with skills like critical thinking and numeracy, which are valued across many university programmes and industries. Avoid choosing subjects solely because they seem easier, as this could limit your opportunities later. For example, many science and engineering degrees require Mathematics and Physical Sciences, not Mathematical Literacy. Explore career and study requirements Even without a clear career goal, research the subject requirements for fields you might consider. For instance, medicine demands Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Life Sciences, while careers in law benefit from subjects like History or English for their focus on analysis and communication. Check university admission criteria for programmes that interest you. Consulting with a career advisor or attending university open days can also clarify which subjects align with in-demand fields. Consider emerging trends The job market is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with growing opportunities in technology, healthcare, and sustainability. Subjects like Mathematics, Physical Sciences, or Information Technology can prepare you for these high-demand areas. Thinking about future industries can guide you toward subjects that position you for long-term success.It is particularly important to consider career paths outside of the historically popular 3-4 year staple degrees. These days there is a vast array of options geared towards high-in-demand specialities that are industry-aligned. Investigate your higher education options more widely, as you may find the perfect fit for you, that didn’t even exist a few years ago. Aim for balance Choose a subject combination that challenges you while allowing you to achieve strong results. Including one or two subjects where you can excel can boost your overall Matric performance, which is critical for university admissions. For example, pairing a rigorous subject like Physical Sciences with a more manageable one like Life Sciences creates a balanced load in terms of leaving doors open while also allowing for a great Matric finals performance. Decide between Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy Choosing between Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy is a pivotal decision. Mathematics is required for fields like engineering, science, or commerce, while Mathematical Literacy suits humanities or vocational paths. If you’re unsure, Mathematics is the safer choice, as it qualifies you for a wider range of university programmes. If Mathematics feels challenging, discuss with your teacher whether extra effort or support could help you succeed over the next three years. “When making subject choices in Grade 9, it is helpful to start from where you want to be in 4 years’ time, and then reverse engineer how you might get there,” Ntshinga says. “Consult teachers, career counsellors, or student advisors at universities both public and private for tailored guidance. Teachers can assess your academic strengths, while counsellors and student advisors can explain how subjects connect to career paths.  “Also consider going to university Open Days. Although you don’t yet have to decide what to study, you are almost certain to gain highly valuable insights into your options after school, as well as gaining helpful advice and insights from professionals on campus.”
