are appropriate, washed regularly but the schools do not use disinfectants. The
refuse bins are available but school practice open dumping and refuse burning.
Recreational facilities were available in the schools, such as field for
foothall, large compound for playing around, but usually flooded. The school
buildings are adequate but have few number of students. The schools are
