Growing up ourselves we didn't have access to computers because they were scarce.
Today, computers are everywhere. But some of the things we've learnt as adults can be introduced to children; e.g. website development, etc. such that by the time they become adults themselves they will be doing more sophisticated things that will make greater impact on both their careers and the country's development in general.
GMS provides time and facilities for such programs giving learners an upper hand over those who follow only the basic curriculum in the digital age.
Mr. Kayiwa Murshid
There's no doubt that creativity is a very important human resource. Without that there would be no progress and we would be repeating same patterns indefinitely.
Therefore, thank you very much Ark, Matthew and the entire team for being such creative.
Please keep it up.
Am anxiously waiting for more programs from the rest of team as well.
At GMS we shall continue to support you.
Ms. Zubedah Guma
We are glad that you have managed to get this creative.
All programs that you have created will change people's life through promotion of learning.
We are grateful for the effort so far exhibited. Continue with such innovations because the sky is the limit.
