The teacher explained that the state government does not provide maintenance or school equipment. “It is the parents’ committee of each school that is held responsible for the rebuilding and repair of the classrooms and the provision of materials.”
She pointed out that “All these factors have a significant impact on the learning process”.
Teachers in the areas of Delling, Habila, and Keweik in the eastern countryside of South Kordofan told this station earlier this year that most of the pupils have to sit on the ground for a lack of seating.
