We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve and preparing students for tomorrow's opportunities through a commitment to academic excellence and innovative teaching. It’s this dedication that has earned Eduvos the prestigious PMR Award for private higher education for two consecutive years–a testament to the exceptional quality of our offerings and the impact we’re making in South Africa's education landscape.
We’re spotlighting Dr. Amos Anele, the academic head of our IT faculty, as he shares insights into how Eduvos is shaping the future of IT education. From pioneering industry partnerships to cutting-edge qualifications, Dr. Anele and his team are equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a dynamic digital era.
The article below, written by Terry Owen in the latest edition of the PMR.africa magazine delves into the transformative journey of Eduvos’s IT faculty and highlights the innovative strides we’re taking to ensure our students excel in the ever-evolving world of technology.
Dr Amos Anele, the academic head of the IT faculty at private higher education giant Eduvos, discusses the transformative journey of the institution in providing high-quality IT education and training across twelve campuses in South Africa.
Commitment to Excellence and Innovation
Dr. Amos Anele explains that his commitment to academic excellence and innovation in learning, teaching, research, and community engagement fuels his strategic academic leadership of the IT faculty at Eduvos. The faculty ensures that the qualifications offered, and educational materials provided to students are both innovative and aligned with the ever-evolving demands of the technology sector.
The IT faculty at Eduvos actively engages with a diverse range of stakeholders, including students, sponsors, experienced academics, and industry experts. They have partnerships with professional bodies like the Institute of Chartered IT Professionals South Africa, the Institute of IT Professionals South Africa, and the South African AI Association, which provide opportunities for networking and exposure to industry-leading knowledge and practices.
It’s a two-way conversation that is so fulfilling as Dr Amos says he is always excited to speak about what’s happening within the faculty. I reply that it is rare to talk to someone so eager to be interviewed. I keep on thinking that I wish I had been around when such exciting degrees were on offer and being mentored by someone like Dr Amos.
