First impressions of schools

I was prepared for surprises when I visited schools but I was still very surprised. The school behind this lovely Burmese teacher has a class for each whiteboard. There are 6 whiteboards close to gether but each one has a teacher and class teaching and learning in front of it (it is holidays now so I have yet to see it in action). Only the nursery has a separated area. There are no windows just bamboo slats, an iron roof and block half walls.







Three little nursery children were chatting and playing in a little playhouse in the school yard. Their happy, busy sounds were just like little children from anywhere in the world.








Many of the schools have boarding facilities as well. This school has the benches and tables for daytime learning which turn into the dormitory room for the night. It is school holidays at the moment so they do not put away the flat tops for their beds but just roll up their personal things. There are racks above which are for putting the bedding onto during the day.
