Foreword
MIE has produced a brand new collection of textbooks based on the National Curriculum
Framework for the Nine Year Continuous Basic Education as from 2016. These textbooks
have been written by a team of academic staff from MIE, supported by experienced
Educators, advised by Inspectors, mentors and Deputy Head Masters.
We have done our best to ensure that the textbooks enable children to undergo a pleasant
learning experience. We have taken care to align the textbooks with very clearly defined
learning outcomes and objectives set for the respective subjects as outlined in the National
Curriculum Framework, Grades 1 to 6. The textbooks provide clear indications of the
diverse skills that children should master at each stage.
We are also providing a set of teachers’ manuals where we have outlined the appropriate
techniques and pedagogical approaches so that children are helped to make optimal use
of the textbook and materials provided. Some of the textbooks have been updated and
changes effected after receiving feedback from educators.
We are thankful to all those who have provided us with constructive feedback, thereby
enabling us to make this curriculum development endeavour come to fruition. We are also
thankful to the artists who carried out the illustrations, and to our graphic artists who have
tried their best to create the right layout for the books. The authors and the curriculum
team, under the guidance of Professor Vassen Naëck, also deserve our thanks.
We hope that you enjoy this material and wish you lots of success.
