Local Schools
Unfortunately our visit to a local school in the village of Ponga was short due to students being on vacation. We were shown around by a very friendly teacher who lived next door to the school. Classrooms were large with blackboards on two walls and two large walls of windows facing inward. One classroom (there were four total) had desks and another did not, students sit on the mud floors to study. Class sizes averaged about 65 students and one teacher in a room. The teacher we met described some difficulties with teachers not being invested in the school, coming late to work, leaving for a few days at a time and not coming in at all. He had found success in his own classroom and was duly proud of having turned out top scholars this past year.
