Photo: A public primary school in Bauchi State
American journalist with Al Jazeera Nick Schifrin shared the photo on Instagram and wrote;
Outside of Bauchi, Nigeria, second graders in the public Kuletu primary
school have no desks, chairs, or books. Their classroom has no windows,
and its walls are crumbling. The blackboard is so old, chalk disappears
into stains that look like recently dripped wax.This is not a case of
poverty. Nigeria's education budget is $1.97 trillion.
Many private schools are modern. But schools run by
the government, especially in rural areas, are neglected by politicians
accused of pocketing money designated for educating the the country's
youth.
