Learners at Kaswiti Primary School in Mzimba District are at risk of not meeting their academic goals as they are failing to access quality education due to poor learning environment at the school. Kaswiti Primary School, which is under Mzimba North Education Division, has two iron sheet roofed classroom blocks and one grass-thatched block which leaks when it rains. According to the school’s headteacher, Pius Tembo, learners from different classes are forced to use same classroom due to the challenge. “We meet a lot of challenges here. For instance, during lessons, Standard 4 and 5 learners use one classroom, same as those of Standard 7 and 8,” Tembo said. “When the rains come, things get worse. Our grass-thatched classroom block leaks heavily, a situation that disrupts lessons hence spoiling learners’ brighter future,” Tembo added. Apart from having few dilapidated blocks, the school also has inadequate staff houses, as there is only one small house.
