In Eghereka Primary School, Ewu, the harsh reality of the education system has been laid bare. Young pupils, the supposed leaders of tomorrow are forced to sit on the bare floor during lessons because their classrooms lack basic furniture like chairs and desks.

This heartbreaking situation paints a troubling picture of neglect and underinvestment in foundational education. Instead of learning in a safe and conducive environment, these children endure discomfort daily, trying to grasp their lessons from the floor.
