Stuart Ntlati Institute

Techcentral interviews the founder of the Stuart Ntlati Institute:
Ntlathi’s institute has its roots in a science club he started with a mate from school back in 2000. Its members would meet in the afternoons, after school, to chat about science-related subjects and to work on projects together.Ntlathi has strong views on why the SA schooling system is dysfunctional, especially when it comes to science and technology. The curriculum needs to be much more interactive, and less textbook-based, he says.“The curriculum in SA is irrelevant. That’s why we’re not winning the battle. You don’t want to be teaching out of textbooks.”
