Hospital School Programme

Child learning on an iPad

The iSchoolAfrica programme trains hospital school teachers and volunteers to ensure paediatric in-patients are included in our education system. The overall aim is to minimise learning gaps while young patients are in hospital.

The programme also supports learners' emotional and mental well-being by offering digital therapeutic tools, distraction and regulation focused apps.Learners feel a sense of normality and excitement to learn, despite their circumstances.
