A training session for the UG students was recently conducted which focused entirely on developing methodologies for coaching literacy strategies.
The opening ceremony for the programme was held at the auditorium of the Tain Campus in which donations were made by numerous companies including Republic Bank.
Textbooks for every primary school student is assured through a programme entitled the Education for All Base Track Initiatives.
The students will have an opportunity to display what they have learned during the three-week period to their parents and special invitees.
