SK St. Francis Convent (M) Kota Kinabalu is populated by urban community students. Many students lack the beginner hands- on skills on “how to grow and care for a plant”.

The Issues:

Students

Students are learning theories about growing plants in their Reka Bentuk Teknologi (RBT) but unable to feel the essence of planting and growing plants by themselves.

Teachers

There are only 3 RBT panel teachers while there are 15 English Language Panel teachers in the school. The lack of manpower in a 80% project-based learning (PBL) subject such as RBT raises questions for efficient teaching & learning environment.

The Covid 19 pandemic has further deteriorated the means of physical contact between students & teachers.
