4. 🔍 Key Findings & Insights

A. Systemic Barriers to Access

• Poor infrastructure (devices + internet) hinders digital education equity.
• Stakeholders recommend hybrid models and government subsidies.

B. Demand for Microcredentials

• Employers show a growing preference for modular, skill-specific learning.
• Stakeholders see value in SayPro issuing short-term, stackable credentials.

C. Policy-Practice Disconnect

• Disconnect between education policy and school-level implementation.
• Stakeholders support SayPro’s role in bridging that gap through advocacy.

D. Inclusive Design Priorities

• Youth and community leaders advocate for co-designing curricula.
• Language, cultural relevance, and local context are essential factors.

5. 📊 Impact & Integration

6. 🔄 Challenges & Recommendations

Challenges:

• Scheduling delays with government representatives
• Language translation needs for community interviews
• Limited video recording permissions in some cases

Recommendations:

• Pre-schedule interview slots a month in advance

• Use AI tools to auto-summarize and transcribe efficiently

7. 📌 Next Steps for June 2025
