EduNews Magazine EduNews Vol 14.1 | Page 5

from the editor The first edition for the year always gives us the most fun! We brainstorm the articles of the upcomming year and create a vision of what we want to bring you and the information that you would like to read. This year kicked off with a bang and I can’t believe the first edition is online and available for your enjoyment. As NAMPA statistics show that 80% of pre-primary and lower primary teachers do not have the nessasary qualifications, we decided to pop in at some of the local pre-primary schools and have their teachers set up lessons. The first lesson is an introduction to Maths. We have also included the syllabus for pre-primary Maths. Furthermore we look at the increasing problem of children’s eating disorders. Some are overweight and others suffer from anorexia. We also take a look at the Paleo diet and discuss whether your children should be on it. We hope you will enjoy this edition!
