"Teaching is simply, a process of carrying out series of planned activities and interactions with learners with sole aim of bringing about learning in the form of acquisition of knowledge, abilities, skills as well as changes in attitude."

"The curriculum of the science subjects especially at the secondary school level have been found to be overloaded with content that are largely irrelevant."
