A donation of face masks by Malawi Gaming Board to St Kizito Boys Primary School in Blantyre has exposed a myriad challenges rocking education system in the country.
About 1, 600 learners of a total of 1, 700 learners sit on the floor, prompting them to ask government to come in and provide them with desks.
Some Standard 8 learners, Louis Mota and Hamza Makwati, have asked government and development partners to provide them with desks to promote quality education.
The learners say that out of 1, 700 pupils, only 101 Standard 8 learners sit on desks which they say is very unfair.
