Teachers without borders: reaching out to educators
Aug 29, 2017 - The 21st century is a challenging time and it is important that both teachers and school learners become self-directed learners. The North-West University's (NWU's) research focus area for Self-directed Learning (SDL), under the directorship of Prof Elsa Mentz, focuses especially on indigenous knowledge for self-directed learning in the science…
Special Economic Zone in Mahikeng: viable but not a cure-all
Aug 29, 2017 - A Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Mahikeng, with an agro-processing focus, could hold economic benefits for the city and the North West Province - provided there is sufficient policy and planning support. This is according to a study done by the TRADE research entity at the North-West University (NWU) at the request of the North West…
