One of the major reasons for establishing the centre was to provide teaching aids to schools so that the classroom lessons could come alive. A central lending facility catering for educators and learners from Grade 1 to 12 was established.
The Centre has a bank of teaching aids: charts, life science and physical science apparatus and chemicals, physiology models, overhead projectors and televideos for loan purposes. Learning Channel’s mathematics, physical science and life science video cassettes and DVDs are loaned to schools.
The poorer schools from afar visit the Centre with their learners to conduct practical lessons in physical science and life sciences, with the necessary educational teaching aids close at hand.
