Sheila Nande, 10, is a Primary Four pupil, uncertain, just like other children, of when government will reopen school for lower primary school children to return to class.
A government plan released on February 11 indicates that P.1, 2 and three will resume classes on June 7 and study for eight weeks, until July 24, then take a break for unknown number of weeks.
For the moment, Nande and about 10 other children have the streets as their learning ground.
“Sometimes a customer takes the onions and throws the money while the car is moving. It is difficult to pick the money with moving cars and motorists from all directions. Sometimes you risk and run to pick it, other times you slide and fall in the trench as vehicles begin to move,” Nande narrates to Daily Monitor.
