Category — Education: crumbling facilities and lack of resources

In Malawi, very little government money is spent on education and educational resources. The conditions of the schools we worked in were extremely poor, and teaching tools for teachers were limited—at times nonexistent. Despite the lack of physical resources and poor infrastructure, teachers in Malawi make use of all sorts of items, rocks, food packaging, twigs and bricks, to help them teach a number of subjects. This strategy for teaching is called “Talular”.
