AUNICEF has sent delightful individual desks and chairs for our primary catch up project.
This is very nice, but the problem is in the word ‘individual’. Nice as they are for the children, they are a nightmare for the school management as they are so easy to lose after being borrowed for wedding funerals and the other innumerable ceremonies that take place in villages. This decision taken unilaterally by UNICEF presumably related to some child-friendly policy is typical of how donors may sometimes completely control the agenda even when the reality we have to live is different.
It could be that they are trying to force schools to provide a seat for every child, but a double bench can provide room for three in a crush whereas a chair cannot.
