Abstract
In less developed countries there is a need for improved training in science and technology, but resources for providing this training are limited. This lack of resources is particularly evident in fields that are highly dependent on computers and computer-related technology. Few teachers have had experience with computers, most students have never seen one, and computers are not available for use in schools generally. Limited resources in computers, and a lack of teacher training in the field of high technology are generic problems in developing countries. The Kingdom of Swaziland is no exception.
