Kalyango Primary School

---

My new school for this summer is about 11km from Masindi Town. The area is mainly rural, with most people working in farming. The headteacher is Ms Christine Akullo who has been head for 4 years. There are 7 other teachers, including two men. (When I was reading the information from LCD, it all seemed pretty comparable up to this point. Then...) There are 450 children in the school, 103 of these are in P1 (Reception). This class is likely to only have 1 teacher! The numbers decrease going through the ages so the oldest class (P7) has only 25 children. Unusually for Uganda, the girls outnumber the boys in this class. Luckily there is a water tank, though no listing for toilets. You can use a mobile phone but "need to climb a bit"!
