Parklands college in Cape Town South Africa exceeds expectation in the pursuit of design, innovation, and creativity in education! It was a delight to spend time with the high school faculty to discuss progressive ways of approaching learning through design thinking. The discussions were lively, participation enthusiastic, and thinking was creative in addressing the diverse needs of the learners, we explored various aspects of life affecting learners and how we can support them in achieving their goals and realising their gains. Thank you Parklands College for opening doors to Design, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Technology (DIET) Africa. Imparting knowledge is not the end of education but the igniting of purpose in every learner.
