Education is key to success so they say.
But violation of the right to education seems prevalent in many primary schools across the country as many leaners continue to be subjected to harsh learning environment, making them uncomfortable to attend classes.
One such a school is Kaligomba primary school which is situated in Mzuzu South-East Constituency.
A visit by VoL to the school, established that owing to limited class blocks at the school, some classes are being conducted outside under a tree.
This development is exposing the pupils to many challenges that affect their learning process as Headteacher for the school, Florida Msiska observes.
Msiska has lamented over these challenges, saying conducting classes outside exposes the pupils to many challenges that affect their learning process but also lead to low performance of pupils.
However, Msiska has thanked William Chikweta Kaweche, who volunteered to construct a schoolblock at the school and currently works are in progress.
In his remarks, Chairperson for Kaligomba Primary School Management Committee, John Mtayamo while describing the support from Kaweche on the project as timely and great relief to the school.
Mtayamo further asked other well-wishers to assist the school with other materials such as desks as currently the pupils sit on the floor.
Kaligomba primary school was opened in 2009 and currently has nearly 400 pupils.
