Coach’s comment

"When the natural curiosity sees things differently, express interesting topics, tries to connect things and relate them to other experiences, has many ideas, and yes, usually gets good if not the best grades. It was an outstanding structured reflection about the Comprehensive sexuality education in light of the International Technical Guidance in Sexuality Education based on the WHO AND UNESCO recommendations. Well – done.” Khadija Ahmed Matrook, GFMER country coordinator and course tutor
