Abstract
In any given society no two persons are the same, Each human being is unique in his/her own ways. People possess varying abilities and talents in life. This confirms why people in any society should be dependent on one another. It also leads to understanding the importance of being united in the community in order to foster meaningful developments. However, in African countries, if not in most sub-Sahara region, schools have continued to discourage co-operative methods of learning while, on the other hand, theoretically support the phenomenon. This is due to the inheritance of am abrupt change from informal (traditional) to formal (western) methods of learning.
This paper reveals the unusual innovation of education in a rural African community. It attempts to illustrate and describe how the author developed a unique strategy of teaching which motivated slow and fast learners to work collectively and harmoniously despite differences in abilities. It further aims at reducing absenteeism in a primary classroom.
