INSTRUCTION TO THE LEARNER

At the start of the module, you are to take the pre-assessment test to see how much background
information and knowledge you have.
This module is self-instructional. You can read analyze concepts and ideas presented, and reflect on
them. The activities and self-check question will help you assess how you progress as you go through the
module. If you need help and further clarification, you can ask the assistance of a mentor or facilitator in your
school. It has been recommended that as much as possible, the mentor is a one of family members.
Your answers to self –check questions (SCQ’s) and Activities may be self-evaluated by your mentor or
