Phase II of the project will commence in January 2015 with the completion of the remaining 8 Schools in the Nciba Circuit. This will add great value to the work initiated by the Meraka Institute.

The Cofimvaba Schools District Technology Project is the initiative of science and technology minister, Derek Hanekom.
The Department of Science and Technology (DST), together with the Department of Basic Education and the Eastern Cape Department of Education, has launched the Cofimvaba Schools District Technology Project.
The initiative seeks to use technology-led innovations to improve teaching and learning in rural schools.
The project will initially focus on 26 schools in the Nciba Circuit and the results of the pilot will be used to form a roadmap for potential national rollout.
