Challenge
While textbooks are helpful, they constitute a majority of education materials in our schools. In resource-deprived areas, an over-reliance on scant teaching and learning materials like textbooks severely restricts students and teachers development. The pedagogy often emphasizes passing exams, making learning abstract and time-bound for students. Also, available learning content on traditional media does not encourage student involvement.
