Hi, I’m Lauren Edmunds, and welcome to the Lauren Edmunds Podcast.
In each episode, we dive deep into the world of education and parenting, with a special focus on primary school children with remedial and special needs. Drawing on over 12 years of hands-on experience running Omatas Learning Centre, a special needs school in Johannesburg, along with decades of academic research, I aim to provide valuable insights and practical advice.
I’m excited to share my knowledge with you and hope you find the discussions both informative and inspiring.
Enjoy the show!

Rethinking School: Why Skills Matter More Than Grades
In this episode, Lauren Edmunds talks about the gaps in our education system and what happens to children who don’t fit the mould. She shares why repeating a year isn’t failure, the difference between learning content and building real skills, and how approaches like Montessori can open new doors. It’s an honest look at how parents and teachers can support children to grow at their own pace.
