3.3.3 Information technology students at the Medium B centre complained that they had to use outdated software, resulting in them not being able to pursue relevant IT courses. This claim was refuted: those utilising the computers in the centre were not studying IT. NCV students used computers for Life Orientation which did not require sophisticated software. The oldest software used was Windows 2003 software and this did not interfere with practicals or exams. The centre did however need new computers, and provision was made for the acquisition of 38 new computers in the 2012/13 financial year.
