Besides health, growth and development , when it comes to academics , no learner will study well with itching feet, bad feet smell and discomfort ! All these lower a child’s self esteem and curiosity !
For every learner to study well with full participation in curricular and co – curricular activities, he/she needs that comfortable pair shoes . There won’t be any hustle for a school going child in the morning for they will always have the enthusiasm to attend school with self – confidence which is a must to yield products!
