DRC: Where schools have flapping plastic walls

Posted August 9, 2010

KIWANJA Monday, July 19, 2010 (IRIN) – It is a sunny day at the Mashango primary school in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu Province. That is good news for teacher Dusaba Mbomoya who is holding a geography exam under a roof filled with holes in a classroom where flapping pieces of plastic do duty as walls. Even the blackboard has holes large enough for students to peer through.
