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

Mon Jun 10 13:58:14 EAT 2013

Thanks Jaco, agreed,

It appears the greatest challenge we have might be to define the type
of content that would need to be plugged into the class one curriculum
for example what was presented by Lucy, any experiences or best
practices from UNESCO that we may want to look at from other countries
in this respect?

Best Regards
