Hard Lessons: Learning in very unforgiving conditions (Kibera, Mitumba Slums)

http://www.ntv.co.ke
When skirmishes erupted following the disputed 2007 presidential election in 2007, schools were among the institutions worst affected. In Kibera slum, hundreds of pupils, whose education was disrupted, are yet to report back to school, a little over a year later. In the second part of the series, Hard Lessons, Jamila Mohammed broadly explores this and other issues.

Another example of African mismanagement and coruption. Its the governments fault. Do not argue with me on stupid argument such as these people are lazy. They are not lazy , their government has abandon them. If all the governments revenue was used properly and fairly that resources could go very far.

I disagree. It's a health hazard and Public Health should close down this school. These kids are picking more germs and diseases to and in school, exposed to nasty stressed out teachers that no amount of this crude education is worth it!

Lol who stole the headteacher's mobile phone.

But seriously I see no problem with these schools. Any school especially in poor Kibera is better than no school. These young people are hungry for education and thats why they are there.

I like that boy peeing anywhere', I would do the same if these crankies were my teachers, St. Augustus my school and my area MP Prime Minister Odinga. For how big is Kibera as a constituency? He can't even order TSC to send in trained teachers here? I am so annoyed I want to piss ANYWHERE Kibera CDF committee lives!
