==============================
Marita,
In my view you have summed up the problem very well. I believe we need
a re-definition of the CAP Program which is appropriate for 2013. Too
many people are still thinking of the initial role played by CAP. We
have gone far beyond that and a new statement and a new approach are
required. I spent my entire working life in one form of education or
another and I am concerned that so few communities see their schools
as learning/training centres for all.
