English Text Books for Catholic School Ndzengwev and Catholic School Roh-bui
Basic English for CameroThe purchase of 252 copies of the English Textbooks for 2 pilot primary schools in the Diocese of Kumbo – Catholic School Ndzengwev and Catholic School Roh-Bui. At the moment, the agency runs 60 nursery schools, 115 primary schools and 15 secondary schools. She has an enrolment of about 2,554 kids in nursery schools, 14, 109 pupils in the primary and 3,249 students in the secondary schools. She has employed about 600 nursery and primary school teachers and 233 secondary school teachers.
The ideal learning situation is for each child to own and use his/her own copy of the English Reader alongside the teacher as he teaches. 252 copies of The English Textbooks and iron boxes for storage cost 1,000,000Francs CFA (2,225 US Dollars). The end result is that children are poor in communication. They find it difficult to express themselves in speaking, writing, hearing and understanding in English. This affects other subjects of the curriculum that are done in English with the realization of this project students read by reading more, gain the ability of improve writing skills and strategy use build fluency and enlarge vocabulary
