Talular is complementary not supplementary to commercially produced media

''Talular activities are not suggested as a replacement for printed books and posters or educational kits, but as a major source of valuable ideas, which could enrich the learning experiences of millions of African children... Talular is not supplementary, but complementary to commercially produced instructional media, because 'complementary' means 'together completing or making whole'. We can never implement a holistic approach to education without talular.'' John J Bisika, Senior Curriculum Specialist, Malawi Institute of Education 2001.
