Open education @ Gayaza High School

Gayaza High School is committed to advance the creation and use of Open Education Reasources(OERs) and open source in Uganda. This is upon the realisation that there is an acute lack of learning and teaching resouces and hence if matters are left as they stand,only a limited few will have access to education. In this regard,we stress quality in OERs,and the popularisation of the technology to make this happen.

Conservation of local medicinal plants

Project contacted by 13-15 year old students of Gayaza High School

Supervised by Milton Chebet, a teacher of Biology, Gayaza High School

Background
Herbal medicine is the use of plants-their leaves, stems, bark, flowers, fruits, and seeds to prevent or cure disease. Different cultures use herbs located in their geographical locations for curing common illnesses. Gayaza high school is rich with so many plant species, many of the plant species are medicinal/herbal meaning their leaves, stems, bark, flowers, fruits, and seeds can be used to prevent or cure disease. The school botanical garden alone has over 50 medicinal herbal plants; the trees and flower gardens in and around the school compound can be very useful in treatment of many diseases. more
