WCED ePortal

The Western Cape Education Department ePortal is an education-centric, large-scale distribution platform that provides teachers, learners and parents with online tools and resources to offer learners opportunities to improve educational results and throughput and to guide them to integrate into a technology-driven society and jobs market. The ongoing vision is to be the preferred delivery and engagement platform for digital educational content that addresses most educational needs, hosted within a curriculum focused ecosystem. WCED curriculum planners responded to school closure and disruption by developing more than 24 000 resources in three official provincial languages, at no cost to the end-user, and in alignment with the South African curriculum (CAPS). 31 000+ resources are hosted on the ePortal, readily available to everybody with internet connectivity.
