"We can frame these incidences as a show of courage and commitment – children are doing all they can to attend school, while teachers are doing all they can to be there to teach and ensure that children are not left behind in their education.

But we can also frame these incidences less positively – that our country has failed to give everyone the same access to education, a basic human right. While the number of schools in the area is commendable, there is no point of having school buildings if the access to said schools are not safe and are instead putting children at danger of drowning and teachers at danger of road accidents."
