“We are thrilled to introduce AASOKA Wizkids’ innovative approach to early education in South Africa, where we aim to revolutionize how young minds engage with learning. Our goal is to equip young learners not only with the skills necessary for success in this day and age but also with a lifelong love for learning that will drive their curiosity and ambition,” said Ms. Monica Malhotra Kandhari, MD, AASOKA. “By integrating robotics and toy-based pedagogy, we’re fostering an environment where critical thinking and creativity thrive, ensuring that children are not just prepared for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow but are also inspired to become the innovators and leaders of the future.”

The integration of these technologies into the curriculum makes learning more dynamic and offers children the opportunity to engage with complex concepts in a playful and enjoyable way.
