The efforts to turn more schools into digital learning centres and smart schools continues as the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Mr. Solly Malatsi together with the Premier of Gauteng Province and the Mayor of Midvaal, launches the SITA Cyberlab in Meyerton High School, on Friday 31 January 2025.

The national Cyber Lab programme is a national initiative of the State Information Technology Agency (SITA); and is aimed at investing in the creation and expansion of smart schools. This is also aligned to the DCDT vision of SITA reasserting itself as the leader in driving ICT transformation in government.

The lab is envisioned to enhance the learner’s academic development and teacher’s learning materials through the internet connectivity that is provided in conjunction with the Cyber Lab infrastructure.

Gauteng Province saw an increase in their recent Matric pass rate, with Meyerton High School obtaining 79.7% in their 2024 matric results.
