Press Release Summary: SkillsTrain Project Africa is an initiative from the leading
UK based ICT training company SkillsTrain. The Project aims to bring a UK classroom
and UK teachers to children and young people from previously disadvantaged schools
in South Africa.

Press Release Body: In June 2008 SkillsTrain Project Africa will go into the next
phase of its development. Project Africa will first teach children and young people
in South Africa about life in the UK using the Live Internet Training platform.
They will then go on to join schools in South Africa with schools in the UK.

This will involve children from schools in the UK being able to directly communicate
with kids of the same age in South Africa using the Live Internet Training platform.
They will be able to speak to each other, show photographs, even draw on the same
whiteboard.

Myra Smallman, said, "The Project is progressing extremely well. We are looking for
UK schools that would like to take part in classes which we conduct with schools in
South Africa".

"The information exchange part of the Project goes LIVE at the end of June, so
schools should apply, via our website as soon as possible". "We also want to hear
from schools in the UK that would like to join in this exciting and unique project,
as well as community project leaders in South Africa who have PCs with Internet
connections which they would be willing to allow children and young people from
their local area to use in order to receive Live Internet Training, as well as
schools in South Africa".

LIVE Internet training means that children can interact with teachers and other
pupils thousands of miles away - teachers can use whiteboards to show the pupils
concepts, as well as many other teaching aids. It brings UK schools and South
African schools together.
