Paper 1 · Education and Religion
Which of the following is a method used to teach children morals in Indigenous Religion?
AWritten examinations set at the end of every farming season.
BPrinted textbooks distributed to each homestead by the chief.
CCorrespondence lessons posted to homesteads by the village head.
DFolktales, riddles and proverbs told by elders at the evening fire.
Explanation: Oral literature carries the moral teaching of Indigenous Religion: ngano (folktales) end with a lesson, tsumo (proverbs) compress a rule into a phrase, and riddles sharpen the mind. The other options all describe features of formal, written schooling, which Indigenous Religion did not use.
