Abstract

Students found in Senior High Schools located in the cities are faced with the difficulty of not having any foreknowledge on most of the practices involved in either obtaining a pelt or its treatment.

Owing to this, leather work teachers in the city are also seriously challenged in getting to build on student’s relevant previous knowledge.
