How Pondo works
From context to trustworthy evidence.
The parts of Pondo
Human context
Parents give consent, optional context and permissions. Teachers, when invited, share the current classroom topic.
Curriculum
Learning stays aligned to the school curriculum — in the one-month trial, Grade 5 CAPS Mathematics.
Learner model
Pondo is being built to keep a growing, evidence-based picture of how a child learns — not a label or a score.
Adaptive decisions
Pondo is designed to choose the next task, explanation and the smallest support that is likely to help.
Learning experience
Calm, short sessions with reading and comfort controls available throughout.
Evidence
Practice, assisted, independent, retained and transfer evidence are kept separate, with uncertainty stated plainly.
Adult insights
Parents and permitted teachers see concise summaries of what happened and what Pondo plans next.
