- School as Wonder or Way Out? – well written NYT article about the musings of an upwardly mobile Black parent. Reminds me that most journalism in South Africa lacks the finesse and style of a good author.
- “Triumph of the BRICs? Higher Education Expansion in the Developing World and the Changing Global Economy” – great talk by Martin Carnoy (June 4 2012 – University of Wisconsin at Madison)
- OECD review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School Outcomes including country profiles – useful for researchers!
- Ferial Haffajee writes an excellent article on the Zuma-Spear vs Free Speech debacle highlighting the importance of well-hung art (dated now but still worth (re)reading.
- Awesome design blog: The Cool Hunter
