Africa: International solidarity allows for educators to teach using storybooks with local flavour

Local stories are at the heart of new schoolbooks being published, thanks to funding provided by the Australian Education Union (AEU) to the Pan African Teachers’ Centre (PATC). African education unions will print these storybooks to help students to develop a taste for reading using local stories and contexts. In most cases, teachers wrote or selected stories from local cultures, ensuring greater relevancy at grassroots level.
