    An evaluation of the Sunday school programme at the Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology
    (2014-04-11) Natana, Wesley Bokati
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Sunday school Programme at N.E.G.S.T. The researcher investigated the Sunday School's planned activities, teaching methods, teaching materials, curriculum and facilities as measured against the aims and objectives of the Sunday School to find out whether or not the Sunday School was achieving its aims and objectives. Data was gathered by means of interview, questionnaires and personal observation. Aims and objectives were used as criteria for judgment. Though the Sunday School Programme at N.E.G.S.T. did not have any written aims and objectives, interview with the Superintendent and the teachers' responses from the questionnaires indicated that the aims and objectives of the Sunday School were: to teach the word of God to children; to reinforce what Christian parents were teaching their children at home; to provide Christian teaching for children who came from non-Christian homes; to enable children to fellowship; to help children grow in Christian faith and character; and to provide an alternative avenue of training to children who might not otherwise have the chance to go to any church service with their parents, due to transport difficulties. All the activities of the Sunday School Programme were found to be geared toward meeting the aims and objectives. Similarly, teaching methods were found to be based on the planned activities and teaching materials used were related to the teaching methods and the planned activities.
