Thanks to our amazing community we have been able to secure 3.1 million Rand towards the #CapTheGap Relief Fund, a response to the challenges caused by COVID-19 in the Higher Education sector. Launched on 29 May 2020, the fund aims to raise a total of 6.6 Million Rand to equip final year and postgraduate university students with laptops and data to make online learning more accessible during lockdown.
The impact of Covid-19 and subsequent shut down of university campuses across South Africa has excluded many students from continuing their studies. This could have a catastrophic effect on success and dropout rates as many students are not equipped and geared for this online learning environment.
