		<title>Gauteng Offline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gautengonline is an ambitious and sorely needed programme run by the Gauteng Department of Education to equip every school in the province with a 25-station computer lab. The problem is that simply installing computers and IT-infrastructure does not automatically translate into effective and meaningful lessons for school learners.

		<title>Crisis &#8211; What Crisis?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a country we’ve been wondering what exactly it means to describe something as a “crisis”.
