It's #backtoschool time of the year, and must it always be? Is the pressure going up or down? Education is personal, and the decision to homeschool is a big one. What are the benefits, challenges, and realities? Join us this #PowerMonday as Liz Gitonga, a Homeschooling Pioneer in Kenya, shares her invaluable insights and experience. Let’s explore if homeschooling could be the right fit for your family. Liz Gitonga is a trained teacher and has more than 30 years of teaching and curriculum development experience, at various levels of education from early years through to university. She and her husband begun #home-schooling about 25 years ago, becoming one of the pioneer Kenyan homeschool families. Liz has a great passion for education and describes her homeschooling journey as one that has been pivotal in shaping her views on education.
