Video recording and oral presentation for a grade 5 pupil in rural Kenya is madness . Some children can’t even read.
Must the innovative gardening involve only climbing fruits ?
This exercise on innovative gardening is too complex for grade 5 kids..Serial 1.10 talks about climbing fruit plant whereas the exercise says an innovative garden of choice. Not clear.
MAKE THE GUIDELINES DOWNLOADABLE AND PRINTABLE.
