Connecting the Dots: Education Incorporated and Adaptive Technologies

Internet access is crucial for modern education, yet for many students, especially in rural and no-fee government schools, it remains out of reach. Without it, these children face the risk of falling behind as the world moves forward at lightning speed.

At Education Incorporated, we’re not just talking about the importance of connectivity—we’re making it happen. Our partnership with Adaptive Technologies is a step towards bridging the digital divide, ensuring that students stay connected and informed.

According to the 2021 NEIMS report, 80% of South African schools lacked internet access for teaching and learning. While recent updates suggest some improvement, the reality is that 20% of schools still don’t have the necessary access, which is unacceptable.

Challenges like outdated infrastructure, high costs, and gaps in digital literacy are real, but they’re not insurmountable. Through collaboration and dedication, we’re pushing forward, ensuring that more students can access the endless opportunities the internet provides.

Education Incorporated and Adaptive Technologies are working hand-in-hand to make sure that every child has the tools they need to succeed in this fast-paced, connected world.

Discover how Education Incorporated is transforming education with our innovative and personalised approach. Our new prospectus showcases our unique learning environment, designed to inspire curiosity and independence in every student.

Did you know that humans communicate using over 6,500 spoken languages or that facial expressions are universal? At Education Incorporated, we believe in effective communication's power and its role in learning and personal development.

Here are 10 fun and engaging facts about communication and humanity:

1. Humans communicate using over 6,500 spoken languages, but there are over 7,000 languages in the world.

2. The average person speaks about 16,000 words per day but can hear and understand up to 100,000 words per day.

3. Facial expressions are a universal language, with 7 basic expressions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, disgust, contempt) recognised across cultures.

4. Humans are the only known species to blush, a response triggered by the limbic system in the brain when we feel embarrassed or self-conscious.

5. The first known written language was Sumerian cuneiform, developed around 3400-3300 BC in Mesopotamia.

6. Humans communicate with more than just words. Nonverbal communication, like body language, eye contact, and tone of voice, accounts for 93% of the impact of a message.

7. Babies as young as 5 months old can distinguish between happy and sad tones of voice, demonstrating their innate ability to understand emotional communication.

8. Humans have a natural tendency to mimic the body language and facial expressions of those around them, a phenomenon known as the "chameleon effect" that helps build rapport and connection.

9. The average person spends 47% of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing, demonstrating the human mind's tendency to wander during conversations.

10. Effective communication is crucial for teamwork and productivity. Studies show that poor communication costs organisations an average of $62.4 million per year in lost productivity.

At Education Incorporated, our partnership with Adaptive Technologies supports and enhances the unique communication needs of our students. Adaptive Technologies is a proud partner, sponsoring uncapped, unshaped fibre to enhance the education experience, ensuring our students have the best tools to succeed.

4. Digital Divide: Despite its widespread use, 40% of the global population has never accessed the internet, highlighting the ongoing need for increased digital inclusion.

5. Email Origins: The first system resembling email was developed in 1965 at MIT. It was used for sharing files and messages on a computer, well before the established Internet.

6. E-Commerce Milestone: In 1994, the first secure online purchase made on the Internet was a Sting CD, marking the beginning of e-commerce as we know it today.
