[kictanet] Day one What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)

[James Kariuki]

I would want to imagine the core skills are the basic literacies as
indicated by Walubengo - mainly covering Mathematical literacy (or
Numeracy),  information literacy(including reading and writing) and
computer/digital literacy. Of course depending on how these basic
literacies are taught other literacies can be implied (for example
environmental, cultural).

Is there anyone with the content of Standard One curricula or syllabi?
This would greatly shape our discussions.
