“The drama club has improved the reading and speaking skills as stories extracted from the books are used. Last year we recorded a good % of a pass in English language because of the Library.”
“Although the curriculum is a bit different, the students are using the books in preparation for the national examinations and their teachers are also using the books as additional materials to their existing textbooks.”
“Independent reading time has grown literacy rates by 84%. These books are key for students to have independent reading time.”
“Since the library was opened to the students, we have observed that many of our students enjoy reading storybooks and novels for leisure. They are also broadening their vocabulary and their knowledge of the world. “
