Education is the key to unlocking opportunities and building a brighter future for individuals and communities. Recognizing the importance of quality education and the potential it holds, MiWay Insurance, a prominent insurance provider in South Africa, has partnered with Spongein, an innovative e-learning platform, to empower high school students in Soweto and Tembisa. Through their collaborative effort, they aim to make a significant social impact by providing a transformative learning experience for young minds.

In a fast-paced world where time is precious, Spongein offers a unique approach to learning. The e-learning platform is tailored to assist high school students from Grade 8 to Grade 12 in mastering various subjects. With concise 10-minute video lessons, Spongein provides an engaging and efficient way for students to grasp complex topics. By harnessing the power of multimedia, the app creates a sensory learning experience that goes beyond traditional teaching methods.

Through the Spongein app, students can access a wide range of subjects, including Mathematics, Accounting, Physical Science, Life Science, English, Afrikaans, IsiZulu, and more. Each lesson is meticulously designed to enhance understanding and retention, making learning an enjoyable and rewarding journey.

Grade 12 is a pivotal year for students as they prepare for their final exams, which can have a profound impact on their future academic and professional paths. Recognizing the significance of this stage, MiWay Insurance’s partnership with Spongein takes a noble step to support Grade 12 students in Soweto and Tembisa.

The regular subscription cost for Spongein is R100 per month, but for Grade 12 students, the business has decided to carry that financial burden. By providing free access to the e-learning platform, Spongein and MiWay aim to level the playing field and ensure that all students have equal opportunities to excel in their academic endeavors.

Betty Dube, Executive Head for Marketing and Brand at MiWay Insurance, emphasizes the importance of empowering students: “We believe in the potential of our youth, and we are committed to supporting their educational goals. Our partnership with Spongein allows us to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives, giving them tools they need to succeed.”

Spongein’s innovative approach to education is rooted in the belief that students learn best when multiple senses are engaged. Traditional textbooks often fall short in creating a comprehensive understanding of complex concepts. In contrast, Spongein’s video lessons provide a visual and auditory experience, enabling students to see and hear what they are being taught.

By incorporating interactive elements, such as animations and quizzes, the app ensures active participation and knowledge retention. Students can revisit lessons at their own pace, reinforcing their understanding and building a solid foundation for future learning.

MiWay Insurance has a long-standing commitment to making a positive impact on the community. Their existing Corporate Social Investment (CSI) programs, Leaders in the Making and the MiHeart Project, are aimed at identifying and supporting high-potential young individuals to achieve their educational and personal aspirations.

The partnership with Spongein aligns seamlessly with MiWay’s vision to empower students and promote equal access to quality education. By investing in the future of theyouth, MiWay and Spongein are collectively working towards building stronger and more prosperous communities.

The partnership between Spongein and MiWay Insurance stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared values. Through their joint effort, they are empowering students in Soweto to reach their full potential and make a positive impact on their lives and the community at large. Together, they are shaping the leaders of tomorrow and creating a legacy of excellence in education.
