CAPS-Aligned Reports. Automatically.

No more manual report cards. myEncore generates fully compliant DBE reports from captured marks.

📱

Works on Any Smartphone

No special hardware needed. Android, iOS, or Huawei — if a teacher has a phone, they can use myEncore.

🌍

Trained in Their Language

Facilitated in isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sesotho, and English. Technology that actually makes sense.

🏆

Certified myEncore Schools

Every teacher earns a recognised certificate. Every school earns official myEncore Certified status.

“The gap is not the tool. The gap is the human support required to implement it in schools that have been left behind.”

The technology to transform school management already exists. What has always been missing is someone willing to walk through the door and make sure it sticks.

South Africa’s schools are falling behind. Not because teachers don’t care.

Most township and rural schools manage everything on paper. Attendance registers, mark sheets, report cards — all done by hand. Teachers spend hours on admin that should take minutes. And when a teacher leaves, years of learner data walks out the door with them.

CAPS Compliance is Broken

Most rural teachers are SASAMS-compliant in name only. Errors are widespread and DBE compliance is at risk.

Admin is Stealing Classroom Time

Hours spent on paperwork every week are hours that should be spent teaching. Burnout follows.

Parents Are in the Dark

Families in townships and rural areas receive almost no real-time information about their child’s progress.

Learner Data Dies with Staff Changes

No continuity between grades, terms, or teachers when staff moves. Every year starts from zero.

We don’t do one-day workshops. We stay until the school works.

A four-phase model built for lasting adoption — not just exposure. Every phase is designed so that when BridgeEd leaves, the school stands on its own.

Foundation Training

5-day on-site workshop for every teacher. At the school. In their language. Hands-on from day one.

02
Week 4

Consolidation Visit

We return 3 weeks later to fix what real practice exposed. The questions that only come up once you’re doing it.

03
Month 3

Champion Support

Monthly check-ins with the school’s identified champion. WhatsApp support channel. No teacher left behind.

04
Month 4

Reaching the schools others can’t reach.

If your school is under-resourced, overlooked, and led by a principal who wants more for their teachers — BridgeEd was built for you.

🏯

Rural Schools

We travel to schools in deep rural Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Western Cape. Distance is not a barrier to quality teacher development.

🏙️

Township Schools

Kasi schools deserve the same digital infrastructure as Model C schools. We bring the same standard of training to every community.

📚

Any Quintile 1–3 School

Any public school with limited digital support and a principal committed to change. If the will is there, we provide the skill.

Schools pay nothing.
Change-makers fund the change.

We partner with corporates, foundations, and government programmes so that every school gets world-class training at zero cost to them.

Multiple funding streams. Zero cost to schools.

BridgeEd is designed to be funded sustainably through a blend of corporate CSI, government channels, and development partnerships.

🏢

Corporate CSI

South African companies with B-BBEE obligations fund teacher development as part of their Social and Enterprise Development commitments. Education is the most fundable CSI category.

📋

ETDP SETA

Our programme is working toward ETDP SETA accreditation, enabling schools and districts to access SETA funding for teacher training that counts toward CPD requirements.

🌍

Development Funders

We partner with education-focused foundations and international development organisations committed to closing the digital divide in South African schools.

📱

myEncore Partnership

As an authorised myEncore training partner, we work with the platform’s team to co-fund access to schools in communities they cannot currently reach directly.

🤝

NGO & Foundation Grants

We actively apply for education grants from SA-focused foundations including Zenex, Ikusasa, and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation.

🎯

BackaBuddy Campaigns

School-specific crowdfunding campaigns invite community members, alumni, and parents to directly sponsor digital training for their local school.
