Computer education in Eshowe

[Andy Rabagliati <andyr@wizzy.com>]

Folks,

The other day I visited the Convent school attached to the
local catholic church.

It is a primary school, private, that takes both sexes and all
colors .. and it has a computer education. They have a network
of about a dozen Windows computers, networked, where the kids
learn to type, draw, and program, using Logo. Logo is a kids'
programming language, where you ask a turtle to put a pen down
and walk around, drawing things.

In short, Bobbie (the teacher) is doing an absolutely tremendous
job. I was commiserating with the System administrator at 
Zululand University, that most of the courses there seem to be
vocational training (the scissors mean 'cut') as opposed to
research or programming. I am glad to see that they are being
taught to program at least at the primary school level ..

Cheers,     Andy!
