"SLC26-W5 | Street Business Diaries: Education and Children's Products."

My participation in this week 5 of season 26 contest will help us to learn various things that shop keeper are struggle with in order to meet their daily need. So here is my contribution regarding the above topic.

What is the most in-demand educational product for children near schools in your area?

The most in-demand educational products for children are biros, notebooks, school bags, and pencils because children need all these things in their various schools to write down what the teachers have taught them. Since schools will be resuming, many parents will go to the market and purchase school items for their kids so that they can write for the tests and examinations organized in schools to assess their performance on what they have learned.

School products are highly demanded, and it's during this period that shopkeepers typically make a profit to support themselves and their families. It’s compulsory that they buy these things for their children, especially school bags to carry their books when the old ones have torn.

Have you ever bought children's products from these stores? Show pictures + videos and show their prices.

Yeah, of course, I have purchased school items from different shops in my area. I will continue to do that, even if you are not a student; you will still need them as an office worker because you will use a pen together with a book to write down your name.

Most of these school products are cheaper compared to other locations or countries. These are the prices of some school products I bought from different shopkeepers in my area.

School products	Nigeria Currency	Steem
A pen	100 naira	0.5 steem
White chalk	300 naira	1.5 Steem
Colors crayon	400 naira	1. 9 steem

Have you noticed any changes in your child's learning after using the store's products?

Some of the teachers often use their right hand to hold a pencil in order to know how to write alphabets. Yes, I noticed some changes in the children, especially children aged 3 or 4 years. Some of them know how to handle a pencil and write the capital letter 'A'. Although it may not be clear, we can see some little changes.

This school material aids learning because they use their school bags to carry their books. If their children are given assignments to complete and asked to color an image, once you teach them how to do that, they can do it perfectly.

Do you think these small shops in society are contributing to the education and happiness of children?

Most of these small shops that sell a variety of school materials are contributing positively to the educational sector because they are the ones who bring these items and sell them to the students in order to improve their learning abilities. Without them, we as parents cannot see some changes we expect in our children concerning education.
