Separate, but not Equal - Part 2

We also visited Kama Primary School on the same morning as we visited Grey Junior.  The disparity between the two schools demonstrated the contrast between the two cultures that cohabit this country. Grey had fancy, posh and modern facilities and Kama was barely functioning with overcrowded classrooms and extreme poverty in every direction that you looked. The boys bathrooms were PVC pipes in the ground.  The water fountains were big plastic tubes. There were 68 students in the fourth grade classes.  Teachers controlled their students with a whipping stick.  The grounds were littered and covered with mud.  It was a sad contrast to Grey and CFIE.

  1. Shocking that they are so close to each other but worlds apart
