What is school like in Equatorial Guinea?
Many classes, which are made of earth bricks, are crumbling. Materials such as blackboards and chalk, books and any other teaching materials are usually very hard to come by so the teacher must do with the little that the government provides. There are some areas where teachers face politically instigated violence because they are perceived to be friendly to the government. This makes it difficult for children to have access to qualified teachers because the teachers fear being victimized.
