Intsebenziswano phakathi kweMatific, iSebe leMfundo laseMpuma Koloni kunye neClick Learning izisa amava okufunda imathematika ngesiXhosa ukomeleza izakhono zokubala ezisisiseko kumagumbi okufundela aseMzantsi Afrika
5 uMeyi 2026, eKapa – Inkqubo yemfundo yaseMzantsi Afrika iyaqhubeka nokujongana nengxaki enzulu yokufunda okusezantsi, apho kuphela abafundi aba-3 kwabali-10 kumabanga asezantsi abakwazi ukufunda kwinqanaba elilindelekileyo. Imingeni yolwimi ayikatshintshi, kwaye ngoku ixhomekeke ngakumbi ekusebenzeni kwizifundo ezifana nemathematika, apho ukuqonda kudlala indima ebalulekileyo.
IsiXhosa yenye yeelwimi zasekhaya ezithethwa kakhulu eMzantsi Afrika, esetyenziswa malunga ne-16% ukuya kuma-20% abafundi. Nangona amanani ehluka, sisalulwimi oluphambili lokufundisa kwizigidi zabantwana, ngakumbi eMpuma Koloni naseNtshona Koloni. Ukuphendula koku, iphulo elitsha lazisa ukufunda imathematika ngedijithali ngesiXhosa kumagumbi okufundela aseMpuma Koloni, ngenjongo yokuphucula ukuqonda kweengqiqo ngokufundisa ngeelwimi abafundi abazazi kakuhle.
Le nkqubo iphuhliswa ngentsebenziswano neMatific, iqonga lehlabathi lokufunda imathematika ngedijithali, kunye neSebe leMfundo laseMpuma Koloni neClick Learning, umbutho ongenzi nzuzo ogxile ekuphuculeni iziphumo zokufunda ezisisiseko usebenzisa itekhnoloji yemfundo.
Ukuqaliswa kwale nkqubo kudibanisa:
● umxholo wedijithali ohambelana nekharityhulam
● iimpawu zokufikelela ezisebenzisa ilizwi
● iziseko zolwimi ezixhaswa yi-AI
● kunye nemodeli yokuphunyezwa ehleliweyo eyilelwe ukusetyenziswa ngenene eklasini
Oku kubonisa ukuzibophelela ekuphuculeni iziphumo zokufunda kumabanga asezantsi ngokwenza imathematika ifikeleleke ngakumbi ngolwimi lwenkobe.
Ulwimi lwesiXhosa olusetyenzisiweyo kule nkqubo luvunywe yiPan South African Language Board (PanSALB), nto leyo eqinisekisa ukuhambelana nemigangatho kazwelonke kunye nokusetyenziswa kolwimi olusemgangathweni kwimfundo karhulumente.
Ukuqaliswa kuhambelana nokugxila okukhulayo eMzantsi Afrika kwiilwimi ezininzi kunye neMother Tongue-based Bilingual Education (MTbBE), kwaye sele kuqale ngepilot kwizikolo ezikhethiweyo ngoEpreli 2026, ngenjongo yokuphucula indlela yokuphunyezwa ngaphambi kokwandiswa.
Oku kuya kulandelwa kukuqaliswa ngokwezigaba kwezinye izikolo, kusetyenziswa izifundo ezifunyenwe ekuqaleni ukuphucula indlela yokunikezelwa.
“Ukugxila koMzantsi Afrika ekufundeni ngeelwimi ezininzi lithuba elinamandla lokuqinisa iziphumo zokubala ezisisiseko,” utshilo uCraig Shotland, CEO yeMatific. “Ngokwenza iMatific ifumaneke ngesiXhosa ngelixa sigcina indlela yokufundisa kunye nokuhambelana nekharityhulam, sinceda abafundi abaninzi ukuba baqonde imathematika ngolwimi abalwaziyo, ngelixa sixhasa ootitshala ngezixhobo ezicwangcisiweyo nezisekelwe kwidatha.”
Indlela esekelwe kulwazi lwasekuhlaleni yokuphunyezwa okunokwandiswa ezikolweni Amava esiXhosa aphuhliswe ukuqinisekisa ukuhambelana neemfuno zekharityhulam kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kumagumbi okufundela.
ISebe leMfundo laseMpuma Koloni liguqulele imisebenzi yabafundi kwisiXhosa kwaye laxhasa ukuhambelana nekharityhulam, iClick Learning ikhokele ukwaziswa ezikolweni ngenkqubo ehleliweyo, iziseko zobuchwepheshe kunye nokubeka esweni okuqhubekayo, logama iMatific ibonelela ngeqonga elisekelwe kubugcisa bokufundisa kunye neziseko zolwimi ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezinokwandiswa kwezinye iilwimi.
Oku kwakhela kumava aqinisekisiweyo eMatific eMzantsi Afrika ngeClick Learning, apho iqonga libonise ukubandakanyeka okuqinileyo kwabafundi kumaphondo amathathu.
“Eli linyathelo elibalulekileyo phambili ngendlela esinikezela ngayo ngemfundo yezibalo eMzantsi Afrika,” utshilo uDylan Harrison, COO weClick Learning. “Nangona abafundi befunda ngolwimi lwabo lwenkobe, kusekho ukunqongophala kwezixhobo zemathematika ezikumgangatho ophezulu kwiilwimi zaseAfrika. Le nkqubo ivumela ukusetyenziswa kwe-edtech eyenzelwe umntu ngamnye ngesiXhosa, enceda abafundi baqonde imathematika ngendlela efikeleleka lula nenxulumene nenqanaba labo.
Kuthi, ingqwalasela ayikho nje kwisixhobo, kodwa kwindlela esidibanisa ngayo kwinkqubo ehleliweyo esebenza kakuhle kwinkqubo yemfundo kwaye esebenzayo ngenene kumagumbi okufundela kwinqanaba elikhulu.”
Indlela i-AI kunye namava eWhatsApp eyandisa ngayo inkxaso ngaphaya kweklasi Iimpawu ze-AI zeMatific zinceda ootitshala basebenzise idatha yabafundi kwaye baqinise unxibelelwano neentsapho. Le nkqubo ikwasebenzisa izixhobo zedijithali ezifikeleleka lula ukuxhasa ootitshala nokugcina abafundi bebandakanyekile nangaphandle kweklasi, kuquka amaqonga aqhelekileyo afana neWhatsApp.
Le ndlela ibeka itekhnoloji njengesixhobo sokwandisa amandla ootitshala neenkqubo zemfundo, kunokuba ibe sisombululo esizimeleyo.
Ikamva: imodeli enokwandiswa yemfundo yeelwimi ezininzi
Eli phulo libonisa amathuba okubanzi okuphucula iziphumo zokufunda eMzantsi Afrika ngokwenza imfundo ifikeleleke ngakumbi ngeelwimi zasekhaya zabafundi. Nangona ukuqaliswa kugxile kwisiXhosa, umbono wexesha elide kukwandisa le ndlela kwezinye iilwimi zaseAfrika, ukunceda abafundi abaninzi baqonde imathematika ngendlela evakalayo, efanelekileyo, nenxulumene nobomi babo.
Ngokugxila okuqhubekayo kwiimfuno zokufunda ezisisiseko, amaphulo afana neli anika inyathelo elibonakalayo lokwakha amagumbi okufundela aquka wonke umntu kwaye asebenzayo ngakumbi. Ngolwazi oluthe vetshe ngokuqaliswa kwenkqubo, ndwendwela www.matific.com
