Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
