LTS is important to study since it is a curriculum that prepares students to teach reading
and numeracy skills to schoolchildren, out-of-school adolescents, and other members of
society in need. It benefits students since it provides information not only about the
course material, but also about volunteering and serving the country. Aside from that,
this degree will greatly aid in the development of my abilities and potential as a future
teacher.
