Why handwork should be encouraged in schools

A friend of mine who was schooled in a neighbouring country says when they were in primary school; handwork was a compulsory extra- curricular activity. He narrates that every Wednesday was a day of the carrot-and-stick, commonly known as ‘kibooko day’, when the whole school would convene in the afternoon for an hour of intensive handwork activity under the supervision of teachers.
