In this episode of the Social Work Khuluma Podcasr, we sit down with Shanali Govender and Dr. Nazira Hoosen for a thought-provoking conversation on edtech solutionism—the belief that technology alone can “fix” complex educational challenges. Together, they unpack why schools and policymakers are so often drawn to quick digital fixes, and what gets overlooked when human, social, and contextual factors are pushed aside.
The discussion moves beyond hype to explore what truly equitable and meaningful technology integration should look like, and how we can re-center pedagogy, teachers, and learners in the conversation. If you’re interested in digital transformation, education policy, or simply want to understand how to navigate the promises and pitfalls of edtech, this episode is a must-listen.
