Enstay
I created this course because I saw how many Zimbabwean primary school learners were expected to perform in ICT without ever having reliable access to structured, syllabus-specific guidance. The gap between what the ZIMSEC curriculum requires and what most learners actually receive in the classroom is real — and it is fixable.
I have worked with primary school learners across Grades 5, 6, and 7, and I know exactly where they get confused, what the examiners look for, and how to explain technology concepts in a way that makes sense to young minds. Every module in this course has been built with that practical classroom experience behind it.
My goal is simple: by the time a learner finishes this course, they should feel confident sitting in front of a computer, completing an ICT task, or answering an exam question — not anxious. Welcome to the course. Let's build those skills together.
