Poor primary education
Chunks of plaster raining down on class one students of a primary school injuring seven of them are illustrative of dilapidated condition of both primary education and school buildings. My wife, a primary school teacher, told me that because of corruption on the part of contractors who are usually ruling party cadres school buildings are constructed with so much less amount of cement that walls cannot withstand a gentle touch on them. The state of teaching there is poor, thanks to lack of devotion on the part of teachers and corruption on the part of local education officers.
If we let this situation continue, it is not far when not only chunks but the whole roof of education will collapse crushing us underneath.
