LEARNING THROUGH INTER-DEPENDENCY     Wise teachers know that the purpose of teaching is from dependence to independence through inter-dependency. It is important to be realistic as far as teaching-learning process is concerned.

Learners are viewed unique, intelligent, and talented.

SCHOOL CLOSURE LIKELY TO HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT ON SCHOOL CHILDREN.   Apart from the profound economic and social consequences the school lockdown has placed on the educational system in Nigeria, the lockdown may also bring traumatizing experience to the generation Z and Alpha. These are the generations that constitute our preschool, primary, secondary, and tertiary institutes. According to UNESCO, over 90% of the world’s students have been affected by the school closure. This is in addition to the 13.2 out of school children that were yet to receive education in Nigeria. How traumatizing can this lockdown really be to our children?
