Learning. Fun. Games

With several start-ups within the sector offering unique features such as fun learning games and quizzes, […]
The reality of Covid-19 pandemic has forced schools to opt for a way out especially with the third term resumption on the line. With the increasing number of cases being detected by the NCDC, resumption may be the least in line of actions.
