Abstract :
Technology will have an increasingly serious impact on the way educational institutions define their markets, present their services (especially training) and also perceive other role players. In South Africa, technological developments must be used as a multiplier to solve the escalating problem of the massification of education. At the same time it should not only account for the demographics and unfortunate recent history of the country, but also restructure the educational system to rise to the challenges of a modern country that can compete in the 21st century
