Abstract
This study sought to determine the effect that digital technology would have on South Africa's educational system. The use of technology in educational settings may change how teaching and learning are carried out. Learning is made possible by technology, which can significantly reduce the growing gap in inequality and disparity and enhance the status of the economy. The research method used for this study is qualitative. To understand the motivations and behaviours of the target audience, the qualitative technique involves gathering perceptions and having faith in people's responses. Qualitative research aims to offer a more in-depth understanding of the problems. The following key themes emerged: Digital Technology, Willingness for Acceptance, Willingness for Implementation, Issues that Digital Technology Can Solve, and Advantages that Digital Technology Can Have. The results of technology in education spaces can have a profound impact and the findings are in closing the skills gap of the country, creating a more interconnected world, and giving access to educational resources, to mention a few
